Synopsis
Jean Genet's semi-autobiographical novel tells of his three teenage years spent in prison for thievery, and his growing obsession with the convicted murderer Harcamone.
Industry Reviews
"A special feature of Miracle of the Rose is that it deals with childhood and ealry adolescence in the reformatory, as well as with adult life in prison or on the streets. This almost puts it into the category of 'confessions of an old boy'; It reminds one a little of accounts of English boarding schools in their worst phases, when the masters were as remote as warders...Genet's writing expresses stong emotion only in the direction of sublimity. He is so steeped in pornography and dirt that he deals with it quite unself-consciously."
New York Review of Books - John Weightman (08/24/1967)
