The current word on this literary-intellectual exercise maintains that The Blacks concerns not so much racial schism as the general violence and absurdity of the modern world. This theory nicely dilutes Genet's paranoid tension and allows the white audience to sit back comfortably, philosophizing about French absurdist theatre and Saint Sordid Genet...
