Jean Genet (París, 19 de diciembre de 1910-París, 15 de abril de 1986) fue novelista, dramaturgo y poeta, y está considerado uno de los autores esenciales de la literatura francesa del siglo XX. Hijo de padre desconocido, su madre lo abandonó a los pocos meses de nacer y se le procuró una familia adoptiva en Morvan, los Régnier. A los diez años cometió su primer hurto y, tras varios robos y fugas, lo internaron en la colonia penitenciaria de Mettray. Fue ladrón, mendigo, desertor, chapero, presidiario, activista, simpatizó con los Panteras Negras y siempre quiso vivir al margen de (o contra) la sociedad biempensante, pero ante todo fue un grandísimo escritor que se ganó la admiración de figuras como Sartre o Jean Cocteau. Es autor, entre otras, de obras capitales como Santa María de las Flores (1944), Milagro de la rosa (1946), Querelle de Brest (1947), Las criadas (1947), Diario del ladrón (1948), El balcón (1956) o Los negros (1958).
