- “JEAN GENET’s attitude towards homosexuality underwent many modifications during the course of his eventful life – but also as his ideas were influenced by the societal changes occurring around him. In his novels he presents the role-playing, sado-maso-chistic form of homosexuality that he learned in reform school and prison. Whereas other ex-cons deplored the violence of prison, made pleas for reform, and bitterly denounced the forced homosexuality of an all-male penal society, Genet was virtually the only one to defend the system.”
