Ròt-Bò-Krik
Ròt-Bò-Krik is a small, independent, polyphonic, joyful and baroque publishing house. It was born in Sète in the summer of 2021.
Ròt-Bò-Krik publishes books of modest form and easy format, inexpensive, to put into circulation texts, fictional or not, which play the role of facilitators between utopias of yesterday and tomorrow. It intends to propagate improbable, unknown, salient, inflammatory, cosmopolitan, edgy, prolific, colorful, cutting works.
By choosing to adorn each of its publications with works by William Morris, an ardent defender of emancipatory art, reinventing a horizon by drawing inspiration from ancient popular practices, Ròt-Bò-Krik asserts the artisanal and committed nature of its editorial peddling.
The Ròt-Bò-Krik editions were founded with long-term Chimurenga comrade and collaborator, Dominique Malaquais (†).
