Recenzii

'Dazzling. Genet has found a scrupulous, meticulous chronicler in Edmund White.' -- Philip Henscher, The Guardian

'An absorbing and magisterial biography...a labor of love in every sense. A comparable achievement [is] Richard Ellmann's biography of Oscar Wilde.'

-- John Bayley, The Evening Standard

'Elegant, meticulous and wholly satisfying.'

-- Brian Masters, The Sunday telegraph

'White has caught the uncatchable man -- the public Genet as well as the recluse: no better praise can be given a biographer.'

-- Paul Bailey, The Daily Telegraph

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
This biography of Genet explores the perverse extremes of his life and writing, and separates the fact from the mythology which was fostered by Genet himself. Edmund White has interviewed lovers, friends, publishers and acquaintances, and has drawn from material, from letters (a number published here for the first time) and other original sources.
