"It is awesome, perhaps the finest novel I have ever read in my
life. It literally sent shivers through me, the sheer beauty of the
language, the exquisite perversity of the imagination, the
incredible grasp of motivation-it is his most tightly plotted, best
organized, most accessible novel. It is a wonder." -Dotson Rader
Querelle is regarded by many critics as Jean Genet's highest
achievement in the novel-certainly one of the landmarks of postwar
French literature. The story of a dangerous man seduced by danger,
it deals in a startling way with the Dostoevskian theme of murder
as an act of total liberation, and as a pact demanding an answering
sacrifice.
