Le balcon
$15.00
Genet, Jean. Le balcon. Éditions Gallimard, 1979 (Later Printing). Softbound. Lucien Goldmann saw Genet's influential play about the remaking of a post-revolutionary landscape into the image of a brothel as an allegory for the rise of technocracy. A handsome French-language pocket edition featuring a fantastic cover collage by Laurent Parienty depicting Irma (the madam at Le Balcon's 'house of illusions' who is later crowned Queen) and the whip-wielding General ('We have to invent an entire life. . . . That's hard . . .' he commands).
Tight, square, uncreased spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Only the gentlest of wear. 153 pp. French Language.
