Each of them has a part to play in the poetry as well as the tragedy of Baudelaire's life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the brilliant, often surreal \u003ci\u003eSolitude\u003c\/i\u003e , the blocked writer Trecci (a character loosely based on the novelist Alexander Trocchi) wishes to be left alone on his barge, only stepping out for a riotous visit to the pub and an occasional sexual encounter with his neighbour's one-legged wife. But when his only friend brings round a potential conquest - an attractive young man who turns out to be an attractive young woman - Trecci is unwillingly drawn back into the world outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oberon Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47037978870000,"sku":"9781840028133","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781840028133_p0.jpg?v=1763739636","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781840028133","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
