Christine (H茅lo茂se Letissier) chooses Jean Genet鈥檚 novel Our Lady of the Flowers as her favourite LGBTQ artwork, for Front Row's Queer Icons series.

Published in 1943, it's an autobiographical story of drag queens, thieves and outcasts in the Parisian underworld.

Christine and the Queens is the stage name of H茅lo茂se Letissier, the French singer-songwriter of the best-selling album Chaleur Humaine.

Queer Icons is Front Row's celebration of LGBTQ culture to mark the 50th anniversary of the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality. Extracts read by Simon Russell Beale.
