Querelle of Brest

First UK edition. Translated from the French by Gregory Streatham. Blue cloth boards with gilt lettering to spine. About fine. In very good dust jacket; some chipping and a couple of short closed to edges. *** Originally published anonymously in French in 1947 in a limited edition of 460 copies which was illustrated by Jean Cocteau. Genet’s novel formed the basis for Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s last film Querelle (1982). A postcard of this film is loosely inserted.
