23922New York City NY: Grove Press 1966. First Edition. First Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine Dust Jacket. New York City NY: Grove Press 1966. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First Edition/First Printing. 344 pages. The author's second novel. One of the greatest novels of the 20th century. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions of which there are many. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Jean Genet's "Miracle de la Rose" in the highly acclaimed English translation by Bernard Frechtman. His second masterpiece after "Our Lady of The Flowers". Visionary writing about "character" that arises directly from his lived experience Genet undermines the Classical notion of static character in all of his five novels but perhaps most emphatically so here: Character does not "develop" so much as constantly "become" anticipating as such the "performative" gender-identity perspective of our time by more than sixty years. "A phantasmagorical account of his youthful incarceration in the Mettray penal colony and subsequent imprisonment in the adult facility of Fountevrault. The author portrays Mettray as 'a womb-like hive of sunless corridors and constricting passages that both shelter the prisoners and guards and incubate their stark attempts at individual development'. The formless men of Mettray constantly meld and mesh into one another existing between mental and emotional states of absolute being and permanent dissolution and drift. Genet sees the hieratical Mettray as 'the universe itself' something he finds 'fabulous'. Surrounded by 400 other confined men many who are attractive and apparently virile young Genet searches for potential lovers and models upon whom he might base his coreless identity" J. E. Barnes. "Only a handful of 20th-century writers such as Kafka and Proust have as important as authoritative as irrevocable a voice and style" Susan Sontag. An absolute "must-have" title for Jean Genet collectors. This title is a great book.

First Edition/First Printing. 128 pages. Retrospective collection of uncollected essays. One of Jean Genet's finest achievements. The First Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent printings of which there are many. Published in a small and limited first print run as a softcover original only. There is NO equivalent edition in the French original. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents in its First Edition format Jean Genet's "The Criminal Child: Selected Essays". His greatest essays in one compact volume brilliantly translated. "In 1949 in the midst of a national debate about improving the French reform-school system Radio Diffusion Francaise commissioned Genet to write about his experience as a juvenile delinquent. He sent back a piece that was a paean to prison instead of the expected horrifying expose. Revisiting the cruel hazing rituals that had accompanied his incarceration relishing the special argot spoken behind bars Genet bitterly denounced any improvement in the condition of young prisoners as a threat to their souls. The radio station chose not to broadcast Genet's views" Publisher's blurb. That is so funny a characteristically "up yours" gesture from the incorrigible Genet. The Essay on the great artist Alberto Giacometti is the longest and most important piece in the book hailed when it was first published by such figures as Pablo Picasso as the best piece ever written on Giacometti. An absolute "must-have" title for Jean Genet collectors. This title is a great collection. As far as we know this is the only copy of the First Edition/First Printing full number line on the Copyright Page available online and is in fine condition: Clean crisp and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws and are subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alterrnative. A scarce copy thus.

199324020New York City NY: Alfred A. Knopf 1993. First Edition. First Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine Dust Jacket. New York City NY: Alfred A. Knopf 1993. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First Edition/First Printing. 820 pages. Massive Biography on subject. One of Edmund White's masterworks it is the best book on Genet in English ever written thus far. The first appearance of the title in the United Kingdom. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only that sold out despite its intimidating length. In terms of production values the British Edition is superior to the American in every respect. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Edmund White's "Genet: A Biography". The great French Modernist writer as seen by the perceptive and insightful American writer/expatriate of the time. As such White has written a meticulous hence its daunting length and illuminating account a necessary antidote to Jean-Paul Sartre's impenetrable "biography" "Saint Genet". According to many dependable critics there is no other 20th-century writer whose prose style is as commanding as authoritative and as original as Jean Genet's with the exception of Marcel Proust and Franz Kafka. That Genet was largely self-taught makes his achievement all the more astonishing. It is just as fascinating that he and Proust the unsurpassed French literary artists of the 20th century should both be homosexual. As such "Genet" is also biography-as-autobiography: Edmund White also homosexual and profoundly influenced by Genet examines this cultural phenomenon its continuity in the constellation of such writers as Andre Gide Jean Cocteau Michel Tournier the philosopher Michel Foucault and the culture critic Roland Barthes all seminal figures all gay. Every Edmund White book is deep down a fable. "Genet" is no exception. Every fable as Michael Ondaatje has remarked about White is marked by a melancholy beauty. Indeed Genet's life-story is when all is said and done about EVERY truly great writer's temperament which is always melancholy. An absolute "must-have" title for Edmund White and Jean Genet collectors. This title is a great book. This is one of very few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing British still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean crisp and bright. Please note: Copies available online have very serious flaws or are in multiple subsequent printings. Readers actually read and re-read this book because it is absorbing and beautifully written. Hence too many used copies online. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with vintage photographs. Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1994 for "Genet: A Biography". Anointed by Vladimir Nabokov as his American successor. One of the greatest writers of our time on one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine copy. SEE ALSO OTHER JEAN GENET AND EDMUND WHITE TITLES IN OUR CATALOG. ISBN 070113397X. Alfred A.
