«Diario del ladrón» is the novel by Jean Genet, published by Planeta in hardcover (229 pages, in Spanish).
A narrative straddling confession and chronicle, and also invention and desire, transports the reader to a world of vileness and decadence that Jean Genet's verbal and imaginative force transfigures. The narrator attempts to save himself from evil through evil itself, turning marginality and desire into literary material.
The work was originally published in 1949 as «Journal du voleur»; this Spanish edition includes the translation by María Teresa Gallego and Isabel Reverte and belongs to the Antología Literaria collection.
For readers of twentieth-century French literature and of narrative that addresses social margins and sexual dissidence.
Jean Genet was a French novelist, playwright, poet, essayist, and political activist. In his early life he was a vagabond and petty criminal, but he later became a writer and playwright. His major works include the novels The Thief's Journal and Our Lady of the Flowers and the plays The Balcony, The Maids and The Screens.
