Industry Reviews
"The Thief's Journal, which was first published in 1948 at the mid-point in Jean Genet's career, stands between his earlier works of fiction and his later works of drama, and points in both directions. It is a long meditation on 'betrayal, theft and homosexuality,' that is to say on Genet's tastes and inclinations, on Genet himself. In part it is a fragmentary account of Genet's life during the Thirties and early Forties....It is a journal in the sense that follows a roughly chronological order, that the narrator of the journal and the writer are clearly versions of the same person, that most of its episodes seem actually to have happened, that it is written largely as a work of self-examination, self-justification, and self-creation."
