Il s'est essay tous les genres: romans, thtre, posie mais aussi dessins, peintures et films. travers des images et des personnages peu communs, Cocteau construit un univers o la mythologie se mle au surrel, o les frontires du mensonge et de la vrit s'estompent. As a creator, Cocteau occupies a particular place in literature. He tried his hand at many genres: novels, plays, poetry, drawing, painting and film.
