Here men from all walks of life don the garb of their fantasies and act them out: a man from the gas company wears the robe and mitre of a bishop; another customer becomes a flagellant judge, and still another a victorious general, while a bank clerk defiles the Virgin mary. These costumed diversions take place while outside a revolution rages which has isolated the brothel from the rest of the rebel-controlled city. In a stunning series of macabre, climactic scenes, Genet presents his caustic view of man and society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grove Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45117093675159,"sku":"9780802150349","price":1080.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780802150349.webp?v=1767272478","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-balcony-9780802150349","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
