About This Book
The Thief's Journal is perhaps Jean Genet's most authentically
autobiographical novel, personifying his quest for spiritual glory
through the pursuit of evil. Writing in the intensely lyrical prose
style that is his trademark, the man Jean Cocteau dubbed France's "Black
Prince of Letters" here reconstructs his early adult years -- time he
spent as a petty criminal and vagabond, traveling through Spain and
Antwerp, occasionally border hopping across the rest of Europe, always
one step ahead of the authorities. "Only a handful of twentieth-century
writers, such as Kafka and Proust, have as important, as authoritative,
as irrevocable a voice and style." -- Susan Sontag
"One of the strongest and most vital accounts of a life ever set down on
paper. . . . Genet has dramatized the story of his own life with a power
and vision which take the breath away. The Thief's Journal will
undoubtedly establish Genet as one of the most daring literary figures
of all time." -- The New York Post
