The thief's journal
Jean Genet (著者), Bernard Frechtman (翻訳者), Ahdaf Soueif (前書きの執筆者)
The Thief's Journal is perhaps Jean Genet's most authentically autobiographical novel; an account of his impoverished travels across 1930s Europe.

With a holy trinity of his own making -- homosexuality, theft and betrayal -- in The Thief's Journal Genet produced a startlingly powerful novel without precedent
