The novel is informed by Genet's memories of confinement, both in prison and the Mettray reformatory where he spent three years from the age of 15. The central figure of the novel is Harcamone, whom Genet first encountered at Mettray, and who resurfaces in an adult prison -- now a murderer and, in the world-turned-upside-down of Genet's vision, a quasi-divine figure.\u003c\/span\u003e\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lovely paperback of a true 20th century masterpiece.
