The Facts of Winter

Editorial Reviews
The Village Voice, July 5, 2005
"... awispy reverie ... performs sly thievery, nicking childlike flights of fancy lost to the magical realm between memory and imagination."

Book Description
The Facts of Winter is a series of dreams, all dreamed by people in and around Paris during the winter of 1881. It is historical fiction once removed: an account of events that were imaginary even from the point of view of an invented past - although Poissel claimed (in a letter to his friend Bartholomeo Facil, August, 1905) that "the characters in this book are all true - all persons who really lived and slept that winter."
