  • "Biography of French author Jean Genet."
  • "Le premier mérite de cette biographie, fouillée et minutieuse, consiste à briser la légende de l'enfant battu et du jeune vaurien voleur et inculte. Ensuite, l'itinéraire singulier de l'écrivain est balisé de toutes les rencontres, occasions, événements qui permettent de mieux saisir l'éclosion puis la maturation de ce phénomène littéraire découvert par Cocteau et canonisé par Sartre. Enfin apparaît le caractère de l'homme et l'explication de la longue période de silence littéraire jusqu'à sa mort."

  • "An engaging and challenging introduction to Jean Genet, this concise biography of the French writer and his work cuts directly to the intersection of thought and life that was essential to Genet's creativity. Arguing that Genet's life was an extraordinary spectacle in which the themes of his most revolutionary works were played out, Stephen Barber gives both the work and its singular inspiration in Genet's life their full due. Abandoned, arrested, and repeatedly incarcerated, Genet, who died in 1986, led a life that could best be described as a tour of the underworld of the twentieth century."
