Le vent qui roule un cœur sur le pavé des cours, un ange qui sanglote accroché dans un arbre, la colonne d’azur qu’entortille le marbre font ouvrir dans ma nuit des portes de secours.

Today in Labor History April 15, 1986: Author Jean Genet died on this day. Genet was a novelists, political activist and petty criminal. His book, The Thief’s Journal (1949), relates his experiences as a young prostitute and thief. That same year, the authorities tried to sentence him to life in prison for his ten convictions. Jean Cocteau, Jean-Paul Sartre and Pablo Picasso successfully petitioned the government on his behalf. In 1968, Genet was censored in the U.S. and expelled from the country after they refused him a visa. But he returned in 1970, upon an invitation by the Black Panthers. He stayed three months, giving lectures and attending the trial of Huey Newton. Later that year, he went to Palestine and visited refugee camps. He supported U.S. political prisoners Angela Davis and George Jackson. He also supported the anti-prison, anti-police brutality work of Michel Foucault, in France.

The Maids
By Jean Genet
In a new version written & directed by Kip Williams
With Madame away, two maids role play their darkest fantasies about their mistress until performance and reality begin to blur.
Kip Williams follows his international hit production of The Picture of Dorian Gray with this wild reimagining of Jean Genet’s masterpiece set for the digital era.
John Cage appeared on an Italian quizshow. Jean Genet stole rare books. Emily Carr reared bobtails. And Kathy Acker did X-rated acts with her boyfriend … we explore the unlikely sidelines of struggling artists
You see a lot of stuff about how we are all so polarised and it is all social media's fault. The second half, at least, is nonsense. The fault lies with the mainstream. Once upon a time bone fide revolutionaries were household names. They were on TV and writing regularly in the mainstream press. My favourite example is Jean Genet, who in Sep 1977 defended the Baader-Meinhof in the pages of Le Monde. Now the BBC has a meltdown because Bob Vylan called for death to an army which is carrying out a genocide.
One result is that really quite normal political views seem extreme. The second is that the establishment is much more extremist as it has no space for criticism, let alone deviance.
Another result, I think, is a hardening of views that are outside of the mainstream, which is to say almost all dissenting views, because their is no space for open debate, let alone polemic.
