A debut novel that blurs poetry and fiction, The Baudelaire Fractal follows Hazel Brown when an ordinary hotel room collapses into a chain of remembered rooms and the uncanny discovery that she has, somehow, authored the works of Charles Baudelaire. The narrative folds together memory, art history and the craft of tailoring into an experimental, image-rich story.

Framing an ars poetica within a feminist perspective, the book moves between 1980s Parisian wanderings, close attention to objects and garments, and meditations on what it means to inherit or reinvent a literary legacy.

Highlights

  • Poetically charged magical realism
  • Themes of authorship, art and gender
  • Strong visual sense—painting, fashion and bibliophilia
