Book jacket/back: The setting of Jean Genet's celebrated play is a
brothel that caters to refined sensibilities and peculiar tastes.
Here men from all walks of life don the garb of their fantasies and
act them out: a man from the gas company wears the robe and mitre
of a bishop; another customer becomes a flagellant judge, and still
another a victorious general, while a bank clerk defiles the Virgin
mary. These costumed diversions take place while outside a
revolution rages which has isolated the brothel from the rest of
the rebel-controlled city. In a stunning series of macabre,
climactic scenes, Genet presents his caustic view of man and
society.
