A substantial selection from Julian Green's diaries spanning 1928 to 1957, translated from the French by Anne Green and selected by Kurt Wolff. The entries bring together literary observation, spiritual conflict, personal relationships, sexuality, identity and the private life of one of the twentieth century's major French-language diarists.

Green's journals are especially notable for their candour about faith, desire and inner life, as well as encounters with writers, artists and intellectual culture across Europe and America. This volume will appeal to readers of literary diaries, queer literary history, autobiography and twentieth-century French writing.
