196872719s. l.: S. n. 1968. Fine. S. n. s. l. s. d. circa 1968 22 x 29 cm 6 feuillets 1/4 Unpublished autograph manuscript comprising 6 and a quarter leaves written in black ink containing around twenty notes and digressive reflections relating to the exercise of power. - ""Where does the law come from From power. The law is the voice and instrument of power. Power precedes the law and gives birth to it."" - ""The working masses are not about to accept nor to consider as political the rape of a little girl nor of a little boy. We live in such a moral climate that it first makes us pity the pain of the parents it makes us reject the cruelty of the act. The worker needs a certain respectability in order to stand equal here with the present bourgeois classes the aristocracy has disappeared. We must look ever more closely at what servile labor consists of and what it entails."" - ""Work as a virtue fostered a new morality and if it was all the more distant and disregarded by the aristocrat the people held to it. I am not speaking of what broke out in 1789 but of what was gradually formed as serfs escaped in one way or another from serfdom. In 1789 this new morality had reached its point and what had carried it word illegible to the extreme had become what was called the bourgeoisie. Bound to this new morality of work they also aspired to an 'imitation'but an imitation onlyand the morality was stronger than the still prestigious pretensions of the declining nobility."" - ""If there is an essence of power it remains hidden. But the manifestation of power even if not ostentatious seeks to be recognized and visible. For instinct one must accept the enigma."" - ""Rousseau a foundling abandons his children to public care: no one cares. It is probable that Dostoevsky raped a little girl: no one cares. The Brothers Karamazov is indeed a revolutionary book."" S. n. unknown

Maurice Toesca a senior official at the Prefecture of Police as well as a prolific novelist biographer and literary critic had met Genet in 1944 on the request of Cocteau to secure his release: Sir Even had Monsieur Jean Cocteau not told me I would have understood the part you played in my release for you are poetrys representative at the Prefecture and my simple thanks would seem poor recompense for the marvellous gift you have given me. I am deeply sorry not to be able to offer you of all people a poem; but at least my heart is full of warm feeling toward you. Do not laugh Monsieur Toesca if you hear me speak of friendship it is still the finest thing I have to give. Please accept mine. Need I tell you again how desperate I was sunk in a darkness from which I no longer hoped to emerge and truly darkness it was for I had contemplated staking everything on an escape attempt whose most likely outcome was death the guards were terribly well armed! I tell you this nonetheless so that you may know my joy when the inspector came to announce my release. Monsieur Dubois was splendid; I should be glad if he could learn from you that I hold him in the deepest gratitude. My happiness is such that I could embrace everyone who helped bring this about. Monsieur Toesca it is a very thankful old thug who dares to shake your hand. translation our own Querelle de Brest was published clandestinely by Paul Morihien Jean Cocteaus secretary. Cocteau is responsible for the masterly and sensuous and unsigned illustrations. A portion of the five hundred and twenty-four copies printed were seized by the police the following year during a raid on the bookshop run by Morihien just steps from Cocteaus apartment at the Palais-Royal. After Genets wartime tribulations Cocteau came once more to his aid this time to spare him a life sentence: convicted for a third time and facing transportation to a penal colony Genet obtained a Presidential pardon through the intervention of Cocteau and Sartre. Querelle de Brest was adapted for the screen in 1982 by Rainer W. Fassbinder. A superb copy of this masterpiece a true cornerstone of homosexual and queer literary culture where the criminal underworld mingles with almost metaphysical ecstasy. [Paul Morihien]s. n. unknown
