Book: Parisian Prowler
by: Charles Baudelaire
Chosen by: Illandro Pebiblio
Baudelaire’s collection of 50 prose poems, or “fables of modern life” seems to be for the most part ignored in comparison to his other major work of poetry, Fleurs de Mal. But, having not read Fleurs de Mal, I can definitively say that the Parisian Prowler kicks its ass. One need only to read “Get High” or “Let’s Beat Up the Poor!” and see what I mean.
You don’t want to be a martyred slave of Time, do you?
