… only through a consideration of the dialectic of freedom acting under given material conditions can the concrete reality of a man’s life be grasped. [Sartre] shows a particular freedom at grips with destiny, at first apparently crushed and suffocated by fatedness, later eroding this fatedness piece by piece. If Genet is a genius, then his genius is not a God- or gene-given gift, but an issue invented by Genet alone, in particular moments of despair. He seeks to rediscover the choice which Genet makes of himself, his life, and the meaning of the world, to become a writer, and to show how the unique specificity of this choice pervades even the interstices of the formal character of Genet’s style, the structure of his images, and the particularity of his tastes.
