If You Love Genet! You Will love this book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Janet Flanner a.k.a. Genet was better known for her "Letters from Paris" for the New Yorker magazine from 1925 to 1975. This novel is her only one. Her fictional writing career never caught on but her insightful articles about the people of Paris and Europe did. Nobody since Janet Flanner has been able to capture her style nor can anyone really replace Genet as a journalist nor as a novelist.
