    Edmund White, Writer, Our Lady of the Flowers by Jean Genet
      

    "Like Nietzsche, Genet believed in the 'transvaluation of all values,' by which bad is good and the ugly is beautiful. Whereas most writers treated homosexuality as a disease, Genet took the stronger position in linking it with evil and sin. He invented the drag queen for literature with the novel's character Divine."
