Description Jean Genet's first novel...set in a fantasy world where the "identity of binary opposites" is able to create a church out of a prison and hedonistic men out of prisoners. Jean Genet is the main character...depicted as a prisoner and artist tormented by the rigid confines of society and by his extreme and contradictory views of life and sexuality.
