About the Author:
Jean Genet was born in Paris in 1910. An illegitimate child who never knew his parents, he was abandoned to the Public Assistance Authorities. He was ten when he was sent to a reformatory for stealing; thereafter he spent time in the prisons of nearly every country he visited in thirty years of prowling through the European underworld. With ten convictions for theft in France to his credit he was, the eleventh time, condemned to life imprisonment. Eventually he was granted a pardon by President Auriol as a result of appeals from France's leading artists and writers led by Jean Cocteau.$$$His first novel, Our Lady of the Flowers, was written while he was in prison, followed by Miracle of the Rose, the autobiographical The Thief's Journal, Querelle of Brest and Funeral Rites. He wrote six plays: The Balcony, The Blacks, The Screens, The Maids, Deathwatch and Splendid's (the manuscript of which was rediscovered only in 1993). Jean Genet died in 1986.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Reprint. 279 pp. Very light wear to illustrated covers. Yellowing to edges of text block and outer page margins. Internally clean, bright, solidly bound. "Genet's novel is necessarily a shocking one. 'He magnifies our failures to the point of catastrophe,' wrote Jean-Paul Sartre. 'He exaggerates our dishonesty to the point of making it intolerable. Genet holds the mirror up to us: we must look at it and see ourselves.'" Size: 12 mo. Seller Inventory # 007871
