The debut novel by acclaimed poet Lisa Robertson, in which a poet
realizes she's written the works of Baudelaire. One morning, Hazel
Brown awakes in a badly decorated hotel room to find that she's
written the complete works of Charles Baudelaire. In her bemusement
the hotel becomes every cheap room she ever stayed in during her
youthful perambulations in 1980s Paris. This is the legend of a
she-dandy's life. Part magical realism, part feminist ars poetica,
part history of tailoring, part bibliophilic anthem, part love
affair with nineteenth-century painting, The Baudelaire Fractal is
poet and art writer Lisa Robertson's first novel. "Robertson, with
feminist wit, a dash of kink, and a generous brain, has written an
urtext that tenders there can be, in fact, or in fiction, no such
thing. Hers is a boon for readers and writers, now and in the
future."-Jennifer Krasinski, Bookforum "It's brilliant, strange,
and unlike anything I've read before."-Rebecca Hussey, BOOKRIOT
