Intriguing, but not for everyone...
This might be categorized as "underground prose", and require a fairly mature and broad mind to appreciate. It's vigorous and existential, rebellious and poetic; lonely and consumed.
It leads with a foreword by Sartre who through 50 pages reveals an enthusiasm and clarity that set a viewpoint that helped enter the author's world... and that, that the world exists needing only conception, what you wish to affirm of it, and so posits the primary modem that creates what you think you are walking through, what you acquire for yourself. Under the suppression of prison, for the protagonist this acquisition reels for having to abide, and turns the world to fantasy, as valid as any.
Genet's prose is stylistically fresh, advanced and brave. And though sometimes convoluted, I was impressed. And while not on the order of Nabokov or Proust, I was satisfied and always pleased, if not anxious, to resume the treading of the tale. A selfish, half-lunatic, self-trapped spirit, unbending and remorseless, creating his own salvation of sorts, however debased, like I said, is not for everybody... but was compelling.
In short, this is an amoral tale, of one who believes life need only be your selfish desire, however much only a conception.

to all the above: yes and no
Though intoxicating with promise, reflected in a few scattered pages by his most lucid thought, the meandering and incompleteness of story, of a theme and resolution, naturally intrinsic to a manuscript just begun, leaves as a great love only just started, more than anything, a forlorn regret.
Only for the dedicated or for completists I would say.
