Funeral Rites by Jean Genet

3.0

What a trip. Gorgeous, each sentence a work of art, yet so cumbersome to read as a whole... it begs reading again but it's so abstract I'm exhausted. It is brilliant in bringing together death and love, horror and beauty. All the while fitting erotic fantasy into every possible train of thought. But a chapter break here and there would have made it more comprehensible.
