Finally finished. Yes, it took me over a year because I would get interested in reading other "short" books, then get distracted, then realize that I wanted to finish it. Well, I did and it was great. It is a very detailed biography of the French author Jean Genet. If you are all interested in his writings, and his life - this is the book for you. And while I state it is detailed, it is not boring. The tone is very conversational and easy to read and process....but the text is over 600 pages long with about 75-100 pages of notes, etc.
