Baldwin's worst problem is how hard he tries not to look like a misogynist (by making the women into theatre characters) but this is a book from the year '56 and he sounds like a 2000s' writer. he's more overt about his (internalized) homophobia. but even though Genet is also +
Well. Giovanni's room (a really good book) is a somewhat superior, somewhat inferior version of (and directly inspired by, evidently) Genet's 'Our Lady Of The Flowers' (also a really good book). But this ruins the climax almost completely if you've read 'Our Lady.'

Sartre also goes to great lengths to call Genet a f🫀ggot in his book (titled Saint Genet.... talk about petty) while also saying stuff like "who hasn't felt the impulse to kiss his highschool buddies, you're just supposed to grow out of it and get married" every 20 pages
Sartre wrote No Exit in 1944. A decent idea executed unspectacularly. Then in 1946 Genet wrote Haute Surveillance, which is also about Three People Locked Together in a cell but a million times better. I would also spend the next six years trying to psychoanalize him.
they were friends, by the way.
artists are so....... Sartre might have written a 800 pages long book analyzing Jean Genet's neurosis that basically made Genet stop writing forever, but the fact remains that Sartre's prose & theatre both try and fail spectacularly to be as good as Genet's.
bro…….
Graham Greene is such a funny author. He prefaces The Third Man with "You might not like this story because it's bad because it was just the first draft for a movie script" and then it's one of the best pieces of text I've seen in my life.
I don’t know where I was going with this. Watch the play rather than read it if it’s your first time with it & if you care for absurdism, it’s very funny and just an hour long & the actors always have fun.
When Mary, the maid, shows up, her first words are:
‘I’m the maid.’
Isn’t that nice. It’s really nice.
