Published as part of the American University Studies series, it focuses on the period from Genet's birth in 1910 to 1951, the year before the publication of Jean-Paul Sartre's monumental study, Saint Genet. Core Argument: Challenging the Legend - The central thesis of the book is that much of what was traditionally accepted as "fact" about Genet's life - specifically his identity as a "thief, male prostitute, and social outcast" - was a carefully constructed myth or "deceit" fostered by Genet himself and later solidified by Sartre. The "Deceit": Stewart and McGregor argue that Genet deliberately falsified or exaggerated his criminal past and his suffering in reformatories (like Mettray) to create a persona of the ultimate "existentialist hero" or "sainted" criminal. Archival Corrections: The authors use extensive archival research, including police records and administrative documents, to correct the chronology of Genet's life. They show that while he was indeed a petty criminal and a vagabond, his actual "criminality" was often less dramatic than his literary depictions suggested. Literary vs. Biographical Truth: The book examines how Genet transformed the mundane reality of his life into the high-style, poetic "truth" found in works like Our Lady of the Flowers and The Thief's Journal. Key Thematic Focus: - Childhood and Mettray: A detailed look at his early years and his time at the Mettray Penal Colony, distinguishing between the "Mettray of Legend" and the historical reality. - Military Service: The authors provide new data on Genet's stints in the French military and his subsequent desertions. Sartre's Influence: The biography serves as a "pre-Sartrean" corrective, arguing that Sartre's philosophical interpretation of Genet actually hindered a true understanding of the man by accepting Genet's self-created legends as biographical fact. Authorship and Academic Context: Harry E. Stewart and Rob Roy McGregor are scholars of French literature who spent years cross-referencing Genet's fictionalised memoirs with official French records. This work is considered essential for Genet scholars because it provides a sober, document-based foundation that contrasts with the more hagiographic or philosophical biographies published in the mid-20th century.
