Reviews
"[This book is] united by Genet's signature probing prose and his fascination with morality, misfits, and art....Throughout, Genet is a deft, sensual, and outrageous critic--in regards to theater, he proclaims, 'A performance that does not act on my soul is vain.' Fans will be pleased with this gathering of Genet's inimitable reflections on art, life, and his muses." -- Publishers Weekly "[T]his text provides crucial insights into Genet's way of thinking." --John Gray, The New Statesman "Genet's sense of language [moved] seamlessly from street argot to the sublime.... Genet's poetry drew me to write; his imagery drew Robert [Mapplethorpe] to the camera." --Patti Smith, The Paris Review "Beside [Genet], Henry Miller is but a cheerfully smutty college sophomore, Sade a dilettante aristocrat of eccentric habits, Gide a genteel old lady sedately cultivating nightshade in her little kitchen garden." -- Time, "Genet's sense of language [moved] seamlessly from street argot to the sublime.... Genet's poetry drew me to write; his imagery drew Robert [Mapplethorpe] to the camera." --Patti Smith, The Paris Review "Beside [Genet], Henry Miller is but a cheerfully smutty college sophomore, Sade a dilettante aristocrat of eccentric habits, Gide a genteel old lady sedately cultivating nightshade in her little kitchen garden." -- Time, "Genet's multifaceted and wildly original aesthetic is embodied in associative takes and close reads . . . Also enthralling are reflections on the inner void, queer life, disease, and death . . . Essential for followers of Genet, inquisitive general readers, and enthusiasts of 20th-century avant-garde French writing." --Diane Mehta, Library Journal "[This book is] united by Genet's signature probing prose and his fascination with morality, misfits, and art. . . .

Synopsis
The Criminal Child offers the first English translation of a key early work by Jean Genet. In 1949, in the midst of a national debate about improving the French reform-school system, Radiodiffusion Fran aise commissionedGenet 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, Genetbitterly denounced any improvement in the condition of young prisoners as a threat to their criminal souls. The radio station chose not to broadcast Genet's views. "The Criminal Child" appears here with a selection of Genet's finest essays, including his celebrated piece on the art of Alberto Giacometti., The Criminal Child offers the first English translation of a key early work by Jean Genet.

Revisiting the cruel hazing rituals that had accompanied his incarceration, relishing the special argot spoken behind bars, Genet wondered if regulating that strange other world wouldn't simply prevent future children from discovering their essentially criminal nature in the way that he had.
