  • Fanon 1st Edition

    So funny that you should mention the part about your copy of Wretched of the Earth missing the pages of the Sartre introduction; I recently purchased a copy of Genet's Our Lady of the Flowers, also published by Grove Press, and the first time I opened the book the dedication fell out!
