Needs translator notes. The English version is not really by Genet, it's by Bernie Frechtman. It captures little of the tone of the French. Not sure how to phrase this.Fnarf999 05:02, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Plot summary

it says "Divine lives in an attic room overlooking Montmartre cemetery, which he shares..." But should probably refer to Divine with the feminine pronoun, as throughout the book Genet uses feminine pronouns when speaking of Divine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.236.169.226 (talk) 14:23, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

History

This wikipedia page is the only place I can find any reference to Our Lady of The Flowers not being the manuscript that was destroyed. There are hundreds of references that suggest it was Our Lady, including introductions in several different printings of the book itself. Does anyone have any references to back this up? I'd like to change this wording if nobody has anything to say about it Binaryorganic (talk) 02:49, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Ummm... Okay. So nobody has responded in a month and a half, and I have still not found a single reference to Our Lady not being confiscated outside of wikipedia. I'm removing the reference. Feel free to discuss it further if anyone disagrees. Binaryorganic (talk) 02:40, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Publication History

I removed the statement that the first fifty pages or so were lost; White in his biography establishes that this applies to Miracle of the Rose, not Our Lady of the Flowers.helio 22:24, 14 September 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Heliogabulus (talk • contribs)
