GENET (Jean).
Les Nègres, clownery. Décines, L'Arbalète, Marc Barbezat, n.d. [1958]. In-8, paperback, untrimmed, filled cover. First edition of this play premiered on October 28, 1959 at the Théâtre de Lutèce. One of 250 copies out of print on Lana. Important copy enriched with an autograph letter from Jean Cocteau to Marc [Barbezat], this admirable "clownery", accompanied by a very beautiful original drawing in ink dated 1959 and signed by the same.

Through Jean Cocteau, he met Jean Genet, whose first books he published without ever censoring him.
