La fantasia però è mescolata al ricordo e così si confondono i contorni di ciò che è accaduto realmente e ciò che è finzione.

It's almost impossible to discern between erotic fantasy and reliable (auto)biographic contents here. Impossible and pointless: 'abstract memoir' is the only fitting definition- a dimension in which the texture of time, space and self-consciousness are tore apart by razor-sharp blade of the written word.

What is involved for me who is making up this story? In reviewing my life, in tracing its course, I fill my cell with the pleasure of being what for want of a trifle I failed to be, recapturing, so that I may hurl myself into them as into dark pits, those moments when I strayed through the trap-ridden compartments of a subterranean sky. Slowly displacing volumes of fetid air, cutting threads from which hang bouquets of feelings, seeing the gypsy for whom I am looking emerge perhaps from some starry river, wet, with mossy hair, playing the fiddle, diabolically whisked away by the scarlet velvet portiere of a cabaret. L'art est le refuge", in Les Nègres au Port de la Lune, Paris: Editions de la Différence, 1988, pp.99–103. Genet wrote an essay on the work of the Swiss sculptor and artist Alberto Giacometti titled L'Atelier d'Alberto Giacometti. It was highly praised by major artists, including Giacometti and Picasso. Genet wrote in an informal style, incorporating excerpts of conversations between himself and Giacometti. Genet's biographer Edmund White said that, rather than write in the style of an art historian, Genet "invented a whole new language for discussing" Giacometti, proposing "that the statues of Giacometti should be offered to the dead, and that they should be buried." [5] Plays [ edit ] Il linguaggio stesso testimonia la differenziazione all’interno degli stessi bassifondi: gli uomini parlano l’argot ma le checche rielaborano e creano nuovi codici semantici che danno il segnale di appartenenza e fortificano i propri confini.Jablonka, Ivan. 2004. Les vérités inavouables de Jean Genet. Paris: Éditions du Seuil. ISBN 2-02-067940-X. Between 1955 and 1961, Genet wrote three more plays as well as an essay called "What Remains of a Rembrandt Torn into Four Equal Pieces and Flushed Down the Toilet", on which hinged Jacques Derrida's analysis of Genet in his seminal work Glas. During this time, Genet became emotionally attached to Abdallah Bentaga, a tightrope walker. However, following a number of accidents and Bentaga's suicide in 1964, Genet entered a period of depression, and even attempted suicide himself. [2] Il narratore, che si trova in carcere a scontare la giusta pena per le malefatte commesse, ci dice fin dall'inizio che lo stimolo a scrivere gli è venuto dalle sue fantasie masturbatorie. Le vicende, altamente erotiche con espliciti riferimenti sessuali nascono dalla sua mente esclusivamente per questo scopo, quello di passar il tempo dilettandosi da solo. Pour le personnage de Divine, qui oscille entre masculin et féminin, il s’agit donc aussi d’alterner entre plusieurs manières de parler, de pronoms et d’accords d’adjectifs. Chez Genet, le masculin l’emporte sur le féminin. Les accords dépendent de la personnalité de la personne qui parle et qui semblent pouvoir choisir dans la langue la forme qui lui convient le mieux pour exprimer son intériorité. Divine lives in an attic room overlooking Montmartre cemetery, which she shares with various lovers, the most important of whom is a pimp called Darling Daintyfoot. One day Darling brings home a young hoodlum and murderer, dubbed Our Lady of the Flowers. Our Lady is eventually arrested and tried, and executed. Death and ecstasy accompany the acts of every character, as Genet performs a transvaluation of all values, making betrayal the highest moral value, murder an act of virtue and sexual appeal.

Regard en biseau, voix mielleuse, Jean Genet chante les petites lâchetés, les délations sordides ou les crimes pitoyables. Point de flamboyance dans le mal, malgré les figures tutélaires d'un Weidmann ou d'un Pilorge... mais une mesquinerie honteuse. Ici on assassine en douce, on dénonce sans risque. Genet need only look at a peisage, and the quotidian becomes transformed under his linguistic auspices into strange and wonderful images. One of his victims becomes’ a corpse, lying in a glass of champagne in the middle of a Greek landscape with truncated ringed columns around which long white tapeworms were twisting and streaming like coils’.

La virilité des douze vieillards et celle du Président étaient bafouées par la glorieuse impudeur de l'adolescent. Tout fut changé. Ceux qui étaient danseuses espagnoles, les castagnettes aux doigts, redevinrent jurés, le peintre délicat redevint juré, le vieillard en étoffe redevint juré, l'ours aussi, celui qui était pape, et celui qui était Vestris.
