The Miracle of the Rose: The Miracle of the Rose (French: "Miracle de la rose" ) is a 1946 book by Jean Genet about experiences as a detainee in Mettray Penal Colony and Fontevrault prison - although there is no direct evidence of Genet ever having been imprisoned in the latter establishment.  This autobiographical work has a non-linear structure: stories from Genet's adolescence are mixed in with his experiences as a thirty-year-old man at Fontevrault prison.  At Mettray, Genet describes homosexual erotic desires for his fellow adolescent detainees.  There is also a fantastical dimension to the narrative, particularly in Fontevrault passages concerning a prisoner called Harcamone who is condemned to death for murder.  Genet idolises Harcamone and writes poetically about the rare occasions on which he catches a glimpse of this character.  Genet was detained in Mettray Penal Colony between 2 September 1926 and 1 March 1929, after which, at the age of 18, he joined the Foreign Legion.
