Review:
Genet has dramatized the story of his own life with a power and vision which take the breath away . . . One of the strongest and most vital accounts of a life ever set down on paper . . . The Thief’s Journal will undoubtedly establish Genet as one of the most daring literary figures of all time. (New York Post)
A literary creation of great importance and midnight beauty. (Library Journal)
Only a handful of twentieth-century writers, such as Kafka and Proust, have as important, as authoritative, as irrevocable a voice and style. (Susan Sontag)
