Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
"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.

Résumé:
Written with the hope of achieving a “dreary distant banality,” Jean-Jacques Schuhl's first novel is a subjective stroll through an underground, glamorous Paris, a city that slips into the background but never disappears, hovering on the verge of its own suppression. An elegiac and luminous cut-up, "Dusty Pink" brings together race wire results, editions of France-Soir, the lyrics to well-known British songs, scripts from famous old films, pharmaceutical leaflets, fashion ads, and strips and scraps of culture in which the avant-garde and academicism blur in an overview of the cultural scene. This world of atmospheres, portraits, and dazzling associations of ideas creates a plane of shimmering surfaces.

Résumé:
Bringing together some of the most prominent writers of science fiction and introducing fresh talent, this collection of stories, essays, and interviews explores global dystopias in apocalyptic landscapes and tech futures, in robot sentience and forever war. Global Dystopias engages the familiar horrors of George Orwell’s 1984 alongside new work by China Miéville, Tananarive Due, and Maria Dahvana Headley. In “Don’t Press Charges, and I Won’t Sue,” award-winning writer Charlie Jane Anders uses popularized stigmas toward transgender people to create a not-so-distant future in which conversion therapy is not only normalized, but funded by the government. Henry Farrell surveys the work of dystopian forebear Philip K. Dick and argues that distinctions between the present and the possible future aren’t always that clear. Contributors also include Margaret Atwood and award-winning speculative writer, Nalo Hopkinson.
