The Baudelaire Fractal by Lisa Robertson, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

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. 'As far as I'm concerned, it's already a classic.' - Anne Boyer 'Robertson's debut novel, for those interested in the possibilities of fiction, is not to be missed.' - Publishers Weekly ' A new Lisa Robertson book is both a public event and a private kind of bacchanal.' - Los Angeles Review of Books | The Baudelaire Fractal by Lisa Robertson, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
