About This Item
Tight spine has some subtle cosmetic creasing. Clean, unmarked interior. Only very light shelf-wear. Translated by Bernard Frechtman. First published in Paris in 1951 by Librairie Gallimard in Œvres Complètes as Miracle de la Rose. 'Indeed,' writes Genet, 'it seems that when tragedians, while performing, reach the heights of tragedy, their chests swell because of the rapidity of their breathing.' The line between tragedy and melodrama is thin in this classic Genet novel, as reflected in the Technicolor cover photo by Harold Zipkowitz: a rose's vertical growth—transcendent but ultimately claustrophobic—into the neatly and narrowly stacked type above. Features a chatty Grove Press subscription insert asking the reader to 'join The Underground' and mail in a card stating, 'Gentlemen: I am adventurous, literate, adult and wish to take advantage of your offer . . .' 344 pp.
