- Synopsis
- The shattering novel of underground life the New York Times called &“a cry of rapture and horror . . . the purest lyrical genius.&” Jean Genet&’s debut novel Our Lady of the Flowers, which is often considered to be his masterpiece, was written entirely in the solitude of a prison cell. A semi- autobiographical account of one man&’s journey through the Paris demi-monde, dubbed &“the epic of masturbation&” by no less a figure than Jean-Paul Sartre, the novel&’s exceptional value lies in its exquisite ambiguity.
