Jean Genet's seminal Our Lady Of The Flowers (1943) is generally considered to
be his finest fictional work. The first draft was written while Genet was
incarcerated in a French prison; when the manuscript was discovered and
destroyed by officials, Genet, still a prisoner, immediately set about writing
it again. It isn't difficult to understand how and why Genet was able to
reproduce the novel under such circumstances, because Our Lady Of The Flowers
is nothing less than a mythic recreation of Genet's past and then - present
history. Combining memories with facts, fantasies, speculations, irrational
dreams, tender emotion, empathy, and philosophical insights, Genet probably
made his isolation bearable by retreating into a world not only of his own
making, but one over which he had total control.
