Jean GENET
Precious first draft fragment of a poem composed in Prison and attached to “La Parade†unpublished in its manuscript version

We immediately note the presence of a punctuation almost entirely absent only two commas and an end period remain in the collection published in 1948 and taken as it is in the edition of the Pleiade as well as a variant: "et morte" becomes "écrasée".Finally we note that the hyphenation at the hemstitch in the monostic does not show a comma unlike the published version.</p><p><u>Reference:</u>Jean Genet <i>Romans et poèmes</i> éd.

Jean GENET
Quelques notes sur le ""pouvoir"" Unpublished autograph manuscript of Jean Genet bringing together notes and reflections on power that he entitled
s. l.: S. n. 1968. Fine. S. n. s. l. s. d. circa 1968 22 x 29 cm 6 feuillets 1/4 Unpublished autograph manuscript comprising 6 and a quarter leaves written in black ink containing around twenty notes and digressive reflections relating to the exercise of power. - ""Where does the law come from From power. The law is the voice and instrument of power. Power precedes the law and gives birth to it."" - ""The working masses are not about to accept nor to consider as political the rape of a little girl nor of a little boy. We live in such a moral climate that it first makes us pity the pain of the parents it makes us reject the cruelty of the act. The worker needs a certain respectability in order to stand equal here with the present bourgeois classes the aristocracy has disappeared. We must look ever more closely at what servile labor consists of and what it entails."" - ""Work as a virtue fostered a new morality and if it was all the more distant and disregarded by the aristocrat the people held to it. I am not speaking of what broke out in 1789 but of what was gradually formed as serfs escaped in one way or another from serfdom. In 1789 this new morality had reached its point and what had carried it word illegible to the extreme had become what was called the bourgeoisie. Bound to this new morality of work they also aspired to an 'imitation'but an imitation onlyand the morality was stronger than the still prestigious pretensions of the declining nobility."" - ""If there is an essence of power it remains hidden. But the manifestation of power even if not ostentatious seeks to be recognized and visible. For instinct one must accept the enigma."" - ""Rousseau a foundling abandons his children to public care: no one cares. It is probable that Dostoevsky raped a little girl: no one cares. The Brothers Karamazov is indeed a revolutionary book."" S. n. unknown

Querelle de Brest with an autograph letter signed: ""I had contemplated staking everything on an escape attempt which would have most likely been fatal""
n. l.: Paul Morihiens. n. 1947. Fine. One of a 9-copy issue of this celebrated clandestine novel with an original drawing by Cocteau Paul Morihien s. n. n. l. s. d. 1947 ; lettre : fin mars 1944 25 x 32.5 cm En feuilles sous chemise et étui First edition. One of 10 copies on vélin de Lana lettered G around which Genet has signed in blue ink signed by Genet at the limitation page most limited deluxe issue except for a unique copy. Complete with the loose leaf beginning with Une brusque lassitude.. With an autograph letter signed by Jean Genet on one page with customary fold marks from mailing published in Edmund White Jean Genet pp. 260-261. Illustrated with 29 erotic lithographs by Jean Cocteau and an original pencil drawing by Cocteau as well as a suite of the illustrations presenting some foxing on certain plates. Loose leaves in the publishers wrappers and laced slipcase with the upper board detached wood slipcase square spine with slide mechanism on the spine bearing the title and author engraved in red. An exceptional copy with a suite of the illustrations on Chine paper and an original drawing by Cocteau also featured in the book on p. 177. Also with an important autograph letter signed dating from late March 1944 written by Jean Genet to Maurice Toesca thanks to whom he avoided being sent to a concentration camp. Maurice Toesca a senior official at the Prefecture of Police as well as a prolific novelist biographer and literary critic had met Genet in 1944 on the request of Cocteau to secure his release: Sir Even had Monsieur Jean Cocteau not told me I would have understood the part you played in my release for you are poetrys representative at the Prefecture and my simple thanks would seem poor recompense for the marvellous gift you have given me. I am deeply sorry not to be able to offer you of all people a poem; but at least my heart is full of warm feeling toward you. Do not laugh Monsieur Toesca if you hear me speak of friendship it is still the finest thing I have to give. Please accept mine. Need I tell you again how desperate I was sunk in a darkness from which I no longer hoped to emerge and truly darkness it was for I had contemplated staking everything on an escape attempt whose most likely outcome was death the guards were terribly well armed! I tell you this nonetheless so that you may know my joy when the inspector came to announce my release. Monsieur Dubois was splendid; I should be glad if he could learn from you that I hold him in the deepest gratitude. My happiness is such that I could embrace everyone who helped bring this about. Monsieur Toesca it is a very thankful old thug who dares to shake your hand. translation our own Querelle de Brest was published clandestinely by Paul Morihien Jean Cocteaus secretary. Cocteau is responsible for the masterly and sensuous and unsigned illustrations. A portion of the five hundred and twenty-four copies printed were seized by the police the following year during a raid on the bookshop run by Morihien just steps from Cocteaus apartment at the Palais-Royal. After Genets wartime tribulations Cocteau came once more to his aid this time to spare him a life sentence: convicted for a third time and facing transportation to a penal colony Genet obtained a Presidential pardon through the intervention of Cocteau and Sartre. Querelle de Brest was adapted for the screen in 1982 by Rainer W. Fassbinder. A superb copy of this masterpiece a true cornerstone of homosexual and queer literary culture where the criminal underworld mingles with almost metaphysical ecstasy. [Paul Morihien]s. n. unknown

The Screens - Faber Hardback 1963
Faber. Hardcover. Good. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. First hardback Faber edition 1963. Good condition. Name and date on ffep small annotation to page 83 light stain to bottom edge of text block which is not effected internally. Dust jacket has light wear to edges. The Screens is the last of Genet's plays to be performed during his lifetime. Its subject is the Algerian War of Independence and it is an intricately crafted grandiose construction - beguiling and baffling in equal measure. While the most openly political of Genet's plays the work is not revolutionary in intent. Rather as the play progresses the radical direction of lighting and the use of folding canvases serve to segment and compartmentalise the drama and in so doing they transform the extremities of war into a series of incantatory scenes vital and ritualistic that bring stability to an otherwise unbearable reality. Haunting savage and grotesque The Screens is none the less an emotionally invigorating work that demonstrates redemption through abjection Faber hardcover
