Usually mails within 12 hours. ; 96 pages; "Satisfies to a degree hitherto unknown our contemporary appetite for violence perversion and squalor. " --New Yorker. 'The setting of Jean Genets celebrated play is a brothel that caters to refined sensibilities and peculiar tastes. Here men from all walks of life don the garb of their fantasies and act them out: a man from the gas company wears the robe and mitre of a bishop; another customer becomes a flagellant judge and still another a victorious general while a bank clerk defiles the Virgin Mary. These costumed diversions take place while outside a revolution rages which has isolated the brothel from the rest of the rebel-controlled city. In a stunning series of macabre climactic scenes Genet presents his caustic view of man and society. ' From the Columbia Encyclopedia Sixth Edition Jean Genet 1910-86 French dramatist. Deserted by his parents as an infant Genet spent much of his early life in reformatories and prisons. Between 1940 and 1948 he wrote several autobiographical prose narratives dealing with homosexuality and crime including Our Lady of the Flowers tr. 1949 repr. 1963 and The Thief's Journal tr. 1964 . In 1948 he was sentenced to life imprisonment for theft but he was pardoned through the efforts of important French writers including Gide Sartre and Cocteau. Genet's first two plays Les Bonnes 1947; tr. The Maids 1954 and Haute Surveillance 1949; tr. Deathwatch 1954 established him as a dramatist concerned with theater as ritual and ceremony. Considered classic examples of the theater of the absurd his dramas portray a world of outcasts in revolt against everything that renders humans helpless subservient and alone. His later plays include The Balcony tr. 1958 in which the patrons of a brothel act out their fantasies as a revolution progresses in the streets and The Blacks tr. 1960 a "clown show" in which black actors play the roles of their white oppressors. Other works include the play The Screens tr. 1962 and Querelle tr. 1974. . Evergreen Original E-130 - Grove Press paperback‎
