THE BOOK

The book is the original publication of Les Negres by Jean Genet.
I don’t read in French and the spine is wearing thin. On the cover a
Fading photo of five members of the cast, which features (I imagine)
The character Village originated by Bachir Touré. The four behind
Members elaborately masked, perch on a scaffold. Village appears
More than vaguely anxious & wears a flouncy blouse, “Les Negres”
And “Jean Genet” are featured in bold white face. In the upper left
It reads: PQ 2613 .E53N4 1960. The book is due on 1/24/1996.
