About This Item
Knopf, New York, 1993. First edition. Condition: Near fine in very good dust jacket. Book has a little bowing, dust jacket has some light edge creasing near spine.
In this revelatory biography of Jean Genet, we have the first full scale life of one of the great and controversial figures of twentieth century literature. Edmund White shows us the writer in all his permutations: poet, dandy, homosexual, thief; a "thug of genius", as Simone de Beauvoir called him.
