Description
Starting in 1970, Jean Genet– petty thief, prostitute, modernist master– spent two years in the Palestinian refugee camps in Jordan. This book, written about ten years later, is Genet’s final masterpiece as a lyrical and philosophical vouage to the bloody intersection of oppression, terror, and desire at the heart of the contemporary world.
