Mousse #90

Mousse celebrates its 90th issue with a collectible edition, with a special design and format, entirely focused on fiction. Dear readers, Why fiction? Because “the problematic implies a terrain to be shared under the aegis of perplexity,” as philosopher Isabelle Stengers points out in her 2023 book Making Sense in Common—a title it would be tempting to steal for this occasion. And because stories help us “to make sense of the world and to act in it,” writes Christina Sharpe in Ordinary Notes (2023).
