Jean Genet's notorious novel follows a young sailor at large in the fetid, stinking Port of Brest. Querelle is an assassin, dealer in opium, homosexual, thief and traitor. His encounters with the Port's inhabitants - his superior officer, Lt Seblon, Mario, the brothel-keeper's husband, a murderer in hiding - lead to a series of violent and shocking adventures.
