Jean Genet was a 20th century, French novelist, who transformed erotic and often obscene subject matter into a poetic vision of the universe. As a dramatist, he was a leading figure in the avant-garde theatre, especially the Theatre of the Absurd. This book is about his account of 3 years of detention in the Mettray Penal Colony from age 15 to 18; he joined the Foreign Legion, but was discharged, and spent a decade as a vagabond thief. His writing came to the attention of Jean Cocteau, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Pablo Picasso, who successfully petitioned the French President to pardon Genet. Genet worked to subvert the traditional moral values of his readership.
