Tramp Turns Saint

By CHRIS BEUTELMAN
Jean Genet is a name that many
Americans are not familiar with.
Genet is an amazingly successful
French playwright whose weird,
terrifying plays have met with
much acclaim on Broadway. He is
an interesting man who rose from
the gutter to reach his present
stature.
At the age of ten, he became a
professional thief and pickpocket.
Roaming from country to ■ coun-
try, he spent most of his time in
reform schools, jails, and prisons.
At different times in his life, he
was a smuggler, drug addict and
pusher, burglar, drunk, army de-
serter, and tramp. His plays are as
dark and mysterious as his life
has been. Genet is a master at cre-
ating illusions; his plays are giant
illusions of absurdity which dis-
guise the actual meanings.
Genet's life has been thoroughly
analyzed and explored in SAINT
GENET, a book written by anoth-
er famous Frenchman, Jean-Paul
Sartre. Sartre ' is the dynamic
thinker whose philosophy is known
as atheistic existentialism. Sartre,
denying the existence of God, states
that there is nothing in life except
man's unconquerable spirit.
. Each man. is thus free to choose
his own. destiny and shape his life
through his own actions, Sartre
believes that Jean Genet is the
perfect example of the existential-
ist man and further compares Ge-
net to, of all things, a saint be-
cause of Genet's lifelong suffer-
ing and misunderstanding by his
fellow man.
SAINT GENET has an excellent
French - into - English translation,
Sartre's violent, explosive philo-
sophy is presented in clear, ring-
ing terms through this translation,
catching up the reader in a. whirl
of ideas and paradoxes.
However, Sartre overtells his
story; the book is too long' (625
pages), and it seems impossible
for one man to know another as
well as Sartre seems to know Ge-
net. Still, questioning- Sartre's vis-
ion is like criticizing Grandma
Moses for painting chklren's pic-
tures. SAINT GENET is brilliant-
ly shocking, shockingly thorough-,
and thoroughly brilliant.
