Our Lady of the Flowers

No book-club issue is documented for any of these. The reprint sequence is the real trap: L'Arbalète (Lyon) 1948 is the first publicly issued French text, and later L'Arbalète printings carry a number of smaller revisions; the Gallimard 1951 Œuvres complètes text was revised by Genet and omits some of the more explicit passages, so a Gallimard or later Grove text is not the 1943 text. Any copy offered as a first must show the Monte-Carlo / 'aux dépens d'un amateur' imprint and a subscriber's number on the limitation leaf.
