The Thief's Journal is a seminal autobiographical work by Jean Genet, chronicling his experiences as a vagabond and thief across Europe during the 1930s. Through raw and poetic prose, the author explores the fringes of society, identity, and marginality, offering a profound and uncompromising look at the lives of those living outside the law. This edition by Cabaret Voltaire restores the original 1948 text, including passages and terms previously censored, making it an essential piece of 20th-century literature.
