A review by savaging
Prisoner of Love by Ahdaf Soueif, Jean Genet, Barbara Bray
4.0
"One thing a book tries to do is show, beneath the disguise of words and causes and clothes and even grief, the skeleton and the skeleton dust to come. The author too, like those he speaks of, is dead."
A wild and imperfect and beautiful book. When Genet was dying of cancer, he refused pain-killers so he could be lucid enough to write this memoir of his time with the Black Panthers and the Palestinian fedayeen.
