Jean Genet

The Thief's Journal (Genet, Jean)

jess

with its raw and gaiety evocation upon that very scabrous, erotically-charged prose comes this poetical narrative that flows itself fluidly like a river of sand — blankets you with sultry warmth, tracing upon each and every part of your flesh, encapsulates you with those sensual words that eject a contradictory illusion on desire and passion of masculinity and the tension of a crime — elucidated upon the reverberations of skins and fleshes, deep within the nakedness of being, emotionally and physically. the novel bursts itself with ounces of personal experiences Genet lived, of making sense upon the art of desire and its connexion with the triad of transgression, criminality, and betrayal, transfigured as love through his prose.
