The Maids
by Jean Genet
The Maids by Jean Genet
Though The Maids (translated by Bernard Frechtman) was his first book to be
published in England, Jean Genet was already a legendary figure in
contemporary European literature. An illegitimate child born in Paris in 1910, he
was abandoned by his mother to the Assistance Publique, adopted by a peasant
family in the Morvan and committed to a reformatory for stealing at the age of
ten; after many years spent in this and similar institutions, he joined and deserted
from the Foreign Legion; and in 1948 only escaped life imprisonment after ten
convictions for theft when the President of the Republic - on the petition of a
group of eminent writers and artists - granted him a pardon. His work - novels,
plays, autobiography - reflects the violence and disorder of his life; but it reflects,
too, high and unmistakable literary genius. The Maids is vehement and
passionate; obsessed - as so much of Genet's writing is - with the problems of
identity, of reality and make-believe, of the complexity of truth. It is both an
exciting piece of literature in itself and an admirable introduction to Genet's work
as a whole.
