About the Author
Jean Genet was born in Paris, France on December 19, 1910. He was an illegitimate child abandoned by his mother, raised by Public Assistance, and sent to live with foster parents at the age of seven. At the age of 10 he was accused of stealing. He spent five years at the Mettray Reformatory and as mostrar mais a young adult spent time in various European prisons for vagrancy, homosexuality, theft, and smuggling. He began writing in 1942, while in prison. His works include Our Lady of the Flowers, Miracle of the Rose, and The Thief's Journal. In 1948, he was convicted of burglary for the 10th time and condemned to automatic life imprisonment. However, by 1947, his works had gained attention from such writers as Jean-Paul Sartre, André Gide, and Jean Cocteau. After the sentence, they petitioned for his release and a pardon was granted. In the late 1940s, Genet began to write for the theatre, but several of his plays were too controversial to be performed in France. His plays included The Maids, Deathwatch, The Blacks, and The Balcony. He died on April 15, 1986. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

Pompas fúnebres por Jean Genet

Maybe Goodreads needs to come up with a bookshelf called Want to Want to Read. I feel really sad to be putting this book aside, but am just not enjoying it. The prose is beautiful, sentence by sentence, but at the paragraph level it is really an ugly mess. We get tedious, in-depth accounts of Querelle deciding whether or not to continue smiling, and then we don't even find out his decision as we are now too busy imagining how a "youngster" would feel if they were miraculously transmogrified into a crocodile.
I tried the Streatham translation, maybe I'll have a go at the Hollo version in the future, but first I'll try a different Genet book, I think, to try to figure out what all the fuss is about.… (mais)
