Looking for Genet brings together twenty-five of Chesters notorious essays and reviews, including pieces on Nabokovs Pale Fire (a total wreck, and for one reason: its not funny, and its supposed to be), Burroughss Naked Lunch (the first half is pleasantly readable without too much skipping, the second is pleasantly skippable without too much yawning), and Updikes Pigeon Feathers (a god who has allowed a writer to lavish such craft upon these worthless tales is capable of anything). Here too are sketches from his penniless bohemian life in Paris, seven Letters from Morocco written for the New York Herald Tribune, and Chesters final piecethe half-mad, previously unpublished Letter from the Wandering Jew, a howl of rage and despair from his hated final home, Jerusalem. Together these pieces are testament to the life and the talent of the Sixties most memorable literary iconoclasts.
