A beautifully written, dreamlike book, often considered Jean Genet's masterpiece, was penned in the confines of a French prison where he was being held for theft. Here, in the darker side of Montmartre, a world of pimps, thieves, prostitutes, queens, and blackmailers, where morality, in the conventional sense of the word, holds no meaning, emerges. The story of Divine, a drag-queen prostitute, intertwines with that of one of his lovers, a young man destined to be arrested for murder. A tale of sex, crime, and death, Our Lady of the Flowers is a powerful and original debut novel that propelled Jean Genet to the forefront of French writers.
