The remarkable and controversial study of the mind, life, and legend
of Jean Genet
SAINT GENET: Actor and Martyr
By Jean-Paul Sartre
University of Minnesota Press | 640 pages | 2012
ISBN 978-0-8166-7760-3 | paperback | $24.95
Saint Genet is Jean-Paul Sartre’s classic biography of Jean Genet—
thief, convict, and great artist—a character of almost legendary
proportions whose influence grows stronger with time. Bringing
together two of the century’s greatest minds and artists, Saint Genet
is at once a compelling psychological portrait, masterpiece of
literary criticism, and one of Sartre’s most personal and inspired
philosophical creations.
PRAISE FOR SAINT GENET:
"A brilliant and unorthodox book, crowded with insights that will
disturb and illuminate." —The Atlantic
"A remarkable achievement."—The New York Times
"The brilliance and humanity and erudition and unsentimental
compassion that have gone into this work are literally
unbelievable. . . . Saint Genet is biographical exegesis carried to
the point of high art."—Newsweek
"One of the most astonishing critical studies ever written about one
writer by another."—TIME
"Grandly conceived and passionately executed"—Harper's
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
