Description
The Thief's Journal is an unflinching account of Jean Genet's life in 1930s Europe. Through his own experiences with vagrancy, petty theft and prostitution, the narrator transforms degradations into an inverted moral code, where criminality becomes heroic.
Genet's novel is a powerful exploration of three intertwined themes: homosexuality, theft and betrayal. The result is a startlingly original work that challenges conventional notions of morality and identity.
This deeply personal and unapologetic novel offers a unique glimpse into the life of one of 20th-century literature's most provocative writers.
