The remarkable and controversial study of the mind, life, and legend of
Jean Genet

SAINT GENET: Actor and Martyr
By Jean-Paul Sartre
University of Minnesota Press | 640 pages | 2012
ISBN 978-0-8166-7760-3 | paperback | $24.95

Saint Genet is Jean-Paul Sartre’s classic biography of Jean Genet—thief,
convict, and great artist—a character of almost legendary proportions whose
influence grows stronger with time. Bringing together two of the century’s
greatest minds and artists, Saint Genet is at once a compelling
psychological portrait, masterpiece of literary criticism, and one of
Sartre’s most personal and inspired philosophical creations.
