I read "The Miracle of the Rose" a couple years ago, and I can't imagine a more gorgeously voluptuous and sensual novel to exist. The plot was so dense and labyrinthe and somewhat surreal that it was often hard for me to follow. But Genet's facility with metaphors and language is breathtaking and his capacity to express his intensity and depth of feeling is almost of tragic proportions, and I think he transcends conventional criticism.
Somewhere in my bedroom closet hides a copy of "Querelle", but I haven't read it, yet.

Iβve read a few of his plays; The Maids, Deathwatch, and (I think) The Balcony.
He along with Beckett and Ionesco were the primary early innovators in the Theatre of the Absurd movement.
I have not read any of his novels although I own The Theifβs Journal.
