'Genet takes seriously the threat latent in sexuality, and drags us with him to a confrontation with the basest of angels.
But Querelle is a thief and a murderer - not a man to be trusted or trifled with.
He gives himself freely both to brothel-keeper Madame Lysiane and to her husband. Genet parle frontalement de sexe, sans métaphore ni ellipse : il dénude lacte jusquà los, jusquà atteindre une certaine forme de pureté, et cest plutôt émouvant. It is awesome, perhaps the finest novel I have ever read in my life. He is coveted, too, by corrupt policeman Mario. Buy a cheap copy of Querelle de Brest book by Jean Genet. Querelle, a young sailor at large in the port of Brest, is an object of illicit desire to his diary-keeping superior officer Lieutenant Seblon. 'The man who wears the uniform of a sailor is in no way pledged or bound to obey the rules of prudence.' First published in 1947, revised for Gallimard in 1953, Querelle of Brest is widely considered to be Jean Genet's most accomplished novel, its renown further aided by Rainer Werner Fassbinder's film adaptation of 1982. He is coveted, too, by corrupt policeman Mario.
