Book Description:

This is the first formalist study of the provocative French writer Jean Genet, treating both his major and more obscure texts. Dr. Naish's study insightfully discusses previous critical responses to Genet, examines Genet's relationship with Cocteau and the Surrealists, and finally takes an original look at humor and parody in this unusual writer.
