Our Lady of the Flowers, often considered Genet's masterpiece, was
written in the cell of a French prison where he was being held for
theft. Here is the darker side of Montmartre, a world of pimps,
thieves, prostitutes, queens and blackmailers, where 'morality' in
the common sense of the word has no meaning. The story of Divine, a
drag-queen prostitute, is interwoven with that of one of his
lovers, a young man due to be arrested for murder. A story of sex,
crime and death, Our Lady of the Flowers is a powerful and original
debut novel, which put Genet into the front rank of French writers.
