Querelle of Brest - Jean GenetQuerelle, a young sailor at large in the port of Brest, is an object of illicit desire to his diary keeping superior officer, Lieutenant Seblon. He is coveted, too, by a corrupt policeman, Mario, and gives himself freely both to brothel keeper Madame Lysiane and to her husband. But Querelle is a thief and a murderer not a man to be trusted or trifled with.
