This personal account of the plight of the Palestinians offers a unique viewpoint on the continuing Mideast conflict. Starting in 1970, Jean Genet spent two years in Palestinian refugee camps. Always an outcast himself, Genet was drawn to this displaced people and their cause, though the attraction was to prove as complicated as it was deep. His final masterpiece, written and rewritten on his deathbed, is a lyrical and philosophical voyage to the bloody intersection where oppression, terror, and desire meet at the convulsed heart of the contemporary world. "One of the strangest and most extraordinary books of the decade." - Edward Said

Book Description: The New York Review of Books, Inc, United States, 2003. Paperback. Book Condition: New. New edition. 203 x 126 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Starting in 1970, Jean Genet--petty thief, prostitute, modernist master--spent two years in the Palestinian refugee camps in Jordan. Always an outcast himself, Genet was drawn to this displaced people, an attraction that was to prove as complicated for him as it was enduring. "Prisoner of Love," written some ten years later, when many of the men Genet had known had been killed, and he himself was dying, is a beautifully observed description of that time and those men as well as a reaffirmation of the author's commitment not only to the Palestinian revolution but to rebellion itself. For Genet's most overtly political book is also his most personal--the last step in the unrepentantly sacrilegious pilgrimage first recorded in "The Thief's Journal, " and a searching meditation, packed with visions, ruses, and contradictions, on such life-and-death issues as the politics of the image and the seductive and treacherous character of identity. Genet's final masterpiece is a lyrical and philosophical voyage to the bloody intersection of oppression, terror, and desire at the heart of the contemporary world.
