Soft cover. Zustand: Good. No Jacket. 166 pages ; 20 cm ; LCCN: 53-7149 ; LC: PQ2613.E53; Dewey: 842.912 ; OCLC: 964425 ; stiff pictorial paper wrappers ; "The two plays collected in this volume represent Genet's first attempts to analyze the mores of a bourgeois society he had previously been content simply to vilify.

In Deathwatch, two convicts try to impress a third, who is on the verge of achieving legendary status in criminal circles. But neither realizes the lengths to which they will go to gain respect or that, in the end, nothing they can do-including murder-will get them what they are searching for." ; G. Book.…
