...Sartre concludes complacently, "Genet delivers himself from it." This switch on Freudian analysis involves more than just turning his readers into a collective listening analyst. For Genet it means tarring them with the same brush as himself. His writings abound in emotional traps that lure a reader along the path of natural human feeling only to jar him with some small monstrosity at the end. In Our Lady of the Flowers, for example, Divine's despair is so eloquently described that the reader is moved to the kind of sympathy one feels for an aging spinster who is losing...

Both boats capsized; all supplies were lost. But everyone made it to the spot where the H11 was waiting...
...Alois rangs up the white skins of the rabbits he has been ordered to kill, which accidentally act as truce flags. Slaughtering pure-bred animals creates a confusion in his mind between the theory of German racism and the practice of the gas chambers and starts him on the path to mental collapse. Although Walser occasionally lapses into stereotypes (e.g. the officious German scientist) and occasionally the symbolic brew of Germans, Jews, rabbits, love, and conception is gagging, in his attempt to treat more, his flaws are more understandable...
