Notre-Dame-des-Fleurs

Product Information

The following day, everything had changed. I saw the world differently. It had became fractured, yet fuller. Suddenly there were women. I felt as though I had given birth to them, had created them myself, in my bedroom, under the covers. I had created them, then cast them far and wide; and now I sought to gather them up, to reclaim them so as to use them in private. How many women have I jerked off to in the intervening years? Thousands? Someone I see on a train, in a shop, on the street. Celebrities, nobodies. I gather these women up, and store them away, for later, when they are always obliging, and always so expert at getting me off. Nobody can do me the way that they can do me, when I act as their intermediary. I wanted to swallow myself by opening my mouth very wide and turning it over my head so that it would take in my whole body, and then the Universe, until all that would remain of me would be a ball of eaten thing which little by little would be annihilated: that is how I see the end of the world.” Wright, Barbara and Terry Hands, trans. 1991. The Balcony by Jean Genet. London and Boston: Faber. ISBN 0-571-15246-5.

Jean Genet, Notre-Dame-des-Fleurs, traduzione di Dario Gibelli, Collana Scritture n.40, Milano, Il Saggiatore, 1996, ISBN 88-428-0328-6. On remarque dans le roman l’absence de représentation de femmes. L’unique exception est Ernestine, la mère de Divine et celle-ci est traitée de manière péjorative. Elle est présentée comme un monstre: elle tente même de tuer son enfant. Ce traitement particulier peut s’expliquer par l’abandon de l’auteur par sa mère lorsqu’il était petit, un traumatisme dont il parle souvent dans ses œuvres. Lindsay Kemp created a production called 'Flowers - A pantomime for Jean Genet' (based on Our Lady of the Flowers by Jean Genet) in 1974 at the Bush Theatre, London, inspired by Genet's words "The saga of Divine should be danced or mimed". This production had evolved from earlier versions beginning in 1969 in Edinburgh. "Flowers" subsequently transferred to New York, Australia, Japan and all over Europe and South America... its last performance being in 1992 in Buenos Aires. Genet's work has been adapted for film and produced by other filmmakers. In 1982, Rainer Werner Fassbinder released Querelle, his final film, based on Querelle of Brest. It starred Brad Davis, Jeanne Moreau and Franco Nero. Tony Richardson directed Mademoiselle, which was based on a short story by Genet. It starred Jeanne Moreau with the screenplay written by Marguerite Duras. Todd Haynes' Poison was based on the writings of Genet.rejoignit le troupeau.

Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows' album Les Fleurs du Mal – Die Blumen des Bösen was greatly inspired by the book. [ citation needed] La novela tuvo una enorme influencia en la Generación Beat, por su lenguaje fluido y altamente poético mezclado con argot/ jerga, y su celebración de los bajos fondos y descripciones explícitas de la homosexualidad. La obra es elegantemente transgresora, y su naturaleza introspectiva prefigura el enfoque del lenguaje desarrollado más tarde por los postestructuralistas. Jacques Derrida escribió sobre Genet en su libro Glas, y Hélène Cixous celebró su trabajo como un ejemplo de escritura femenina. By 1949, Genet had completed five novels, three plays, and numerous poems, many controversial for their explicit and often deliberately provocative portrayal of homosexuality and criminality. Sartre wrote a long analysis of Genet's existential development (from vagrant to writer), entitled Saint Genet (1952), which was anonymously published as the first volume of Genet's complete works. Genet was strongly affected by Sartre's analysis and did not write for the next five years. Between 1955 and 1961, Genet wrote three more plays as well as an essay called "What Remains of a Rembrandt Torn into Four Equal Pieces and Flushed Down the Toilet", on which hinged Jacques Derrida's analysis of Genet in his seminal work Glas. During this time, Genet became emotionally attached to Abdallah Bentaga, a tightrope walker. However, following a number of accidents and Bentaga's suicide in 1964, Genet entered a period of depression, and even attempted suicide himself.

Jablonka, Ivan. 2004. Les vérités inavouables de Jean Genet. Paris: Éditions du Seuil. ISBN 2-02-067940-X. Divine lives in an attic room overlooking Montmartre cemetery, which he shares with various lovers, the most important of whom is a pimp called Darling Daintyfoot ("Mignon-les-Petits-Pieds" in French). One day Darling brings home a young hoodlum and murderer, dubbed Our Lady of the Flowers. Our Lady is eventually arrested and tried, and executed. Death and ecstasy accompany the acts of every character, as Genet performs a transvaluation of all values, making betrayal the highest moral value, murder an act of virtue and sexual appeal.
