A beautiful new edition of Jean Genet''s classic work, which includes a new introduction by Jon Savage.

One of the great writers of our times.' Sunday Telegraph

Querelle, a young sailor at large in the port of Brest, is an object of illicit desire to his diary-keeping superior officer, Lieutenant Seblon.

But Querelle is a thief and a murderer not a man to be trusted or trifled with.
