Our Lady of the Flowers

Written while Genet was in prison, Our Lady of the Flowers is a surreal and provocative novel centered on the lives of drag queens, queer lovers, and criminals in the Paris underworld. With poetic language and transgressive flair, Genet blends desire, violence, and fantasy into a meditation on beauty, identity, and marginalization.
