Looking for Genet, Essays and Reviews (1992), Edward Field,
ed.
Looking for Genet brings together
twenty-five of Chester's notorious essays and reviews, including pieces
on Nabokov's Pale Fire ("a total wreck, and for one reason: it's not
funny, and it's supposed to be"),
William S. Burroughs's Naked Lunch ("the first half is
pleasantly readable without too much skipping, the second is pleasantly
skippable without too much yawning"), and
John Updike's Pigeon Feathers ("a god who has allowed a
writer to lavish such craft upon these worthless tales is capable of
anything"). Here too are sketches from his penniless bohemian life in
Paris, seven "Letters from Morocco" written for the New York Herald
Tribune, and Chester's final piece -- the half-mad, previously
unpublished "Letter from the Wandering Jew," a howl of rage and despair
from his hated final home, Jerusalem. Together these pieces are
testament to the life and the talent of the Sixties' most memorable
literary iconoclasts.
