Summary:
Le XIQ est un pont entre littérature et architecture: il poursuit les recherches de l’auteur autour du rapport intime entre texte et dessin, entre récit et album. C’est un conte architectural, souvent plein d’humour, à la forte identité graphique. L’ouvrage imbrique selon une construction précise, permettant diverses navigations à travers l’ouvrage, trois formes de narration: un lexique (X), des interludes (I) et des fictions architecturales (Q). Ces trois formes donnent le titre : les X sont les inconnues, les I les invités (Paul Ricoeur, Anne-Marie Schwarzenbach, Georges Perec, Italo Calvino,…) et les Q les quastions (ou quasi-fictions). Le XIQ offre un voyage dans la compréhension critique de l’architecture autour d’un kaléïdoscope de renvois et de références de tous temps, de la culture populaire aux thèmes actuels, en passant par des questions de nature philosophique et esthétique.

Summary:
"If on a winter's night a traveler" turns out to be not one novel but ten, each with a different plot, style, ambience, and author, and each interrupted at a moment of suspense. Together they form a labyrinth of literatures, known and unknown, alive and extinct, through which two readers, a male and a female, pursue both the story lines that intrigue them and one another.

Summary:
In "I Love Dick", published in 1997, Chris Kraus, author of Aliens & Anorexia, Torpor, and Video Green, boldly tore away the veil that separates fiction from reality and privacy from self-expression. It's no wonder that "I Love Dick" instantly elicited violent controversies and attracted a host of passionate admirers.The story is gripping enough: in 1994 a married, failed independent filmmaker, turning forty, falls in love with a well-known theorist and endeavors to seduce him with the help of her husband. But when the theorist refuses to answer her letters, the husband and wife continue the correspondence for each other instead, imagining the fling the wife wishes to have with Dick. What follows is a breathless pursuit that takes the woman across America and away from her husband—and far beyond her original infatuation into a discovery of the transformative power of first person narrative.I Love Dick is a manifesto for a new kind of feminist who isn't afraid to burn through her own narcissism in order to assume responsibility for herself and for all the injustice in world—and it's a book you won't put down until the author's final, heroic acts of self-revelation and transformation.

Summary:
"Tout tableau, tout dessin d’Henri Matisse possède une vertu qu’on ne peut toujours identifier, mais qui est une force véritable. Et c’est la force de l’artiste de ne point la contrarier, de la laisser agir. Si l’on devait comparer l’oeuvre d’Henri Matisse à quelque chose, il faudrait choisir l’orange. Comme elle, l’oeuvre d’Henri Matisse est un fruit de lumière éclatante. Avec une entière bonne foi et un pur souci de se connaître et de se réaliser, ce peintre n’a cessé de suivre son instinct. Il lui laisse le soin de choisir entre les émotions, de juger et de limiter la fantaisie et celui de scruter profondément la lumière, rien que la lumière." Guillaume Appollinaire
