Sinopsis

A ground-breaking surgical intervention promises to free women from psychological disorders. The procedure is painless, the risks are minimal, and patients are calmer and more compliant after healing. The doctor promises them a new and productive life, free from suffering – can it be so simple?
Meret is a nurse on the surgical ward. The hospital is her home, and her uniform is her identity. She supports her patients through their interventions and is proud to be a part of the solution. But when she falls in love with another nurse, she crosses an invisible boundary and her certainty in the system begins to crumble.
With echoes of Kazuo Ishiguro and Margaret Atwood, this is the story of a world of rigid hierarchies and a love with its own rules.

    Guy de Maupassant’s Clair De Lune is a beautifully written short story that captures themes of reflection, longing, and the quiet beauty of moonlit solitude. Blending poetic prose with deep emotional insight, the story follows a priest who, during a late-night walk beneath the soft glow of the full moon, experiences an unexpected revelation. The gentle light transforms his thoughts, bringing forth a moment of vulnerability and human connection that challenges his long-held beliefs. 
    Narrated by Etombè Edembe, this audiobook brings Maupassant’s evocative storytelling to life, immersing listeners in the tranquil yet deeply introspective atmosphere of the narrative. With its delicate balance of melancholy and romance, Clair De Lune is a timeless piece of literary artistry that invites readers to embrace the mystery and beauty of the night. 
    Originally published in 1882, this short story is one of Maupassant’s most lyrical works, demonstrating his mastery of atmosphere and emotion.

    "Code Noir is storytelling at its deepest and most intimate. These stories are magic and you must enter them as if you, too, are wondrous." —Dionne Brand, author of Nomenclature, Theory, and Map to the Door of No Return 
     
     
     
    Canisia Lubrin's debut fiction is that rare work of art—a brilliant, startlingly original book that combines immense literary and political force. Its structure, deceptively simple, is based on the infamous Code Noir, a set of real historical decrees originally passed in 1685 by King Louis XIV of France defining the conditions of slavery in the French colonial empire. The original code had fifty-nine articles; Code Noir has fifty-nine linked fictions—vivid, unforgettable, multilayered fragments filled with globe-wise characters who desire to live beyond the ruins of the past. 
     
     
     
    With a foreword by Christina Sharpe, Code Noir ranges in style from contemporary realism to dystopian literature, from futuristic fantasy to historical fiction. This inventive, shape-shifting braid of narratives exists far beyond the boundaries of an official decree.

    In a tiny bayou town with far too many wicked secrets, the sudden disappearance of a six-year-old girl is a mystery Sheriff Holt Chamberlain is determined to solve.
