Thomas Lask The New York Times February 20 1967 page 35. <br /><br />Translated from the French by Bernard Frechtman and originally published in 1951 by Gallimard. Striking jacket photo of Genet by Jerry Bauer. The unclipped dust jacket shows the original $7.50 price. <br /><br />CONDITION: Near Fine with slight splaying of boards. Internally clean bright and unmarked. The unclipped dust jacket has a bit of soiling to the spine and lower panel. Overall a beautiful copy. <br /><br /><br /> Grove Press, Inc. hardcover books
