Soft cover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 128 pages. Published in 2020. Retrospective collection of uncollected essays. One of Jean Genet's finest achievements. The First Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent printings, of which there are many. Published in a small and limited first print run as a softcover original only. There is NO equivalent edition in the French original. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents, in its First Edition format, Jean Genet's "The Criminal Child: Selected Essays". His greatest essays in one compact volume, brilliantly translated. "In 1949, in the midst of a national debate about improving the French reform-school system, Radio Diffusion Francaise commissioned Genet to write about his experience as a juvenile delinquent. He sent back a piece that was a paean to prison instead of the expected horrifying expose. Revisiting the cruel hazing rituals that had accompanied his incarceration, relishing the special argot spoken behind bars, Genet bitterly denounced any improvement in the condition of young prisoners as a threat to their souls. The radio station chose not to broadcast Genet's views" (Publisher's blurb). That is so funny, a characteristically "up yours" gesture from the incorrigible Genet. The Essay on the great artist Alberto Giacometti is the longest and most important piece in the book, hailed when it was first published by such figures as Pablo Picasso as the best piece ever written on Giacometti. An absolute "must-have" title for Jean Genet collectors. This title is a great collection. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the First Edition/First Printing (full number line on the Copyright Page) available online and is in fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws and are subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alterrnative. A scarce copy thus. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JEAN GENET TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1681373610. no.…
