Résumé:
The debut poetry collection from Arab-American poet Kareem Rahma - formerly of VICE and The New York Times - shows us the future in haiku. Simultaneously a hopeful prayer for change and direct warning to the reader, Rahma makes masterful work of the haiku form to build a very possible future world dominated by corporations, an earth depleted of natural resources, and humans turned into zombies, glued to their screens. The future that awaits us is not the one we’ve hoped for or what we were promised, but a terrible culmination of what we’ve done to ourselves. Elegant but caustically humorous, this prophetic vision can be returned to again and again, because even in the darkness, Rahma remains hopeful that we can still keep the promises we made in the past. Paired with Jean-Marc Côté’s nineteenth-century illustrations of an imagined year 2000, ''We Were Promised Flying Cars'' is not just for poetry and science fiction fans, but anyone interested in what tomorrow might look like.

Résumé:
D'Arkham à Gotham, de l'Atlantide au Groland, de l'île au trésor à l'île de Lost, de la Syldavie à Twin Peaks, ce petit guide vous emmène à la découverte de destinations imaginaires. Imaginaires et néanmoins situées : ici, nulle contrée fabuleuse, fantasmatique ou farfelue, mais des « géofictions », autrement dit des lieux qui se glissent dans les interstices du réel pour rendre la narration plus crédible. Dans ce livre stimulant, riche en anecdotes et en histoires insolites, David Glomot nous montre que ces créations sont autant de reflets de notre réalité : Twin Peaks n'est-il pas l'archétype de la petite ville américaine ? la Syldavie et la Bordurie, l'image de l'imbroglio géopolitique des Balkans ? l'Atlantide de Platon, la métaphore du destin politique des cités grecques ?. Ou quand tous les chemins qui mènent à Pétaouchnok sont les meilleurs raccourcis vers le monde réel....

Résumé:
Under the pavements of Paris there lies buried an ancient river, the Bièvre. For years, Lucy Frost has walked along these streets, unaware of the water and history under her feet, on her way to clean the apartments of Paris’s academic class. As she begins to study and transcribe the inherited notebooks and papers of her great-aunt, a teacher and researcher who disappeared years earlier, she commits to continuing her aunt’s youthful research on the Bièvre, mining the river’s documentary traces in the works of Rousseau, Rabelais, Hugo, Chateaubriand, and the like. She uncovers a history of industry: paper mills, dyeing workshops, tanneries, and textile manufacturers – and laundries. She finds resonances of her own labour in the history of the river’s laundresses. On stolen time at work, and in her insomniac hours of nightwriting, she fills notebooks with these woven stories and descriptions of obsolete sites, textiles, cosmologies, and voices, constructing her own forms of relation with the lost. ''Riverwork'' unearths not just an urban river but also a philosophy of research and the archive, a politics of hydrology, an ontology of ageing and belatedness, and a consideration of the unrepresented labour of women, past and present. Along the way it brings to life, in pyrotechnic prose, a long-gone Paris and both its domestic workers and its writers.
