AUTHOR

Genet, Jean, Hollo, Anselm

SUMMARY

"In many ways, Querelle is the purest and the most austere enactment of those romantic situations that Genet's envy of handsome young men caused him to return to again and again....Genet is in an awkward, dishonest--no, an ambiguous relationship with his readers and his characters. At the beginning of his novel, he announces that he is writing for homosexuals. But Genet cannot resist scandalizing his reader who, if homosexual, must also be a prude and a hypocrite--indeed, Baudelaire's 'hypocritical reader, brother, counterpart.' ...The climactic scene is placed too early in the book, and Genet insolently acknowledges that he is breaking 'the habitual rules of narrative logic.' The conclusion is speededup becuase, as Genet admits, he has become impatient with his tale. Worst of all, the book is left incomplete, unfinished."Genet, Jean is the author of 'Querelle', published 1994 under ISBN 9780802151575 and ISBN 0802151574.
