Books by Jean Genet

On Women on Funeral Rites: “It was Genet, in his novel Funeral Rites, who provided one of the first texts that showed the erotic allure fascism exercised on someone who was not a fascist.”
Notes on Camp on Our Lady of the Flowers: “The Camp ideas in Our Lady of the Flowers are maintained too grimly, and the writing itself is too successfully elevated and serious, for Genet's books to be Camp.”
The Ministry of Utmost Happiness on Our Lady of the Flowers: epigraph taken from Our Lady of the Flowers by Jean Genet, translated by Bernard Frechtman
Just Kids on Querelle of Brest: “In his sailor dress and cap, he resonated a Cocteau drawing or the world of Genet's Robert Querelle.”
