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: Jean-Paul Sartre (1905–1980) was a renowned philosopher, playwright, novelist, screenwriter, and literary critic. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1964, an honor he declined.
