The theme being when one lives in an illusion of the past, they throw away any trace of an authentic future they could have obtained and along with it a blinding to reality.

A man in and out of jail, Genet wrote his first poem and novel behind bars, eventually escaping a life sentence thanks to a petition to the french president backed by prominent names such as John Cocteau, Pablo Picasso and Jean Paul Sartre[], who wrote an invaluable and insightful introduction to Genet’s plays Les Bonnes and Deathwatch which this essay uses to analyse Les Bonnes.

The next morning, Tom awoke to the sound of the opening of his dresser drawer. “Dammit Tyler,” he cursed. Suddenly upright, comforter on the floor, Tom beheld himself. This Tom was a few pounds thinner. His haircut was shorter, cropped like the one he’d worn in the previous spring. There were heavy purple sacks under his eyes. On the floor of the bedroom room lay a half dozen empty cans of various off-brand energy drinks and sheets of torn-away notebook paper covered in ferocious scribbling. On…
