Striking postcard of Jean Genet photographed by Jerry Bauer, 1966. Printed by Grove Wiedenfeld. “Genet’s influence, if we have to look for such a thing, I usually see in the use of metaphor to transform an uncompromising reality. Genet’s writings effected transformations from squalid prison environments, turning the sexual assignations and passions of the inmates into ceremonial acts which assume the lineaments of a new religion.” John Coulthart.
