Né à Paris de parents américains en 1900, élu à l'Académie française en 1971, décédé le 13 août 1998, Julien Green a été une des figures majeures de la littérature française. Il nous a laissé une importante œuvre romanesque ("Mont-Cinère", "Adrienne Mesurat", "Léviathan", "Le visionnaire", "Chaque homme dans sa nuit"...) et théâtrale ("Sud", "L'ennemi", "L'ombre"). L'ensemble de son Journal a traversé tout le siècle : le premier volume parut dès 1938 ; l'avant-dernier, "En avant par-dessus les tombes", a été publié posthume en 2001. Au soir de sa vie, et jusqu'au mois précédant sa mort, Julien Green écrit chaque jour dans son Journal : au fil des événements, de ses lectures, de ses pensées, il adopte tour à tour un ton poétique et critique, mêlant sagesse, humour et mélancolie. On (re)découvre un écrivain très lucide sur son temps, livrant ses pensées, ses émotions, ses colères et ses inquiétudes à cœur ouvert, avec une grâce, une modernité et une franchise étonnantes. Surtout, à chaque ligne, à chaque instant, on sent un double impératif l'habiter, exigeant et magnifique : la foi et l'écriture. Voici donc un testament littéraire très personnel, suivi d'une postface de son fils adoptif Jean-Éric Green, où la tristesse de voir partir un être aimé s'exprime avec une touchante pudeur.

At the Periphery of the Center is the first comparison of two of France’s most important twentieth-century authors, Julien Green and Marguerite Yourcenar. It examines textual elements in their plays and novels to draw conclusions about the ways that they represent homosexuality in their texts. Both Yourcenar and Green turned to drama to explore aspects of same-sex desire that they felt unable to express in their prose. The analysis of their plays shows that an emphasis on dialogue and action makes drama a particularly appropriate genre for writing about homosexuality because it affords an author distance and therefore protection from the “proclivities” of his characters. The chapters on the novel show, by contrast, how prose fiction allows an author to explain a character's sexuality with a degree of subtlety difficult to achieve in theatre. Variations in narration and paratext allow writers to avoid condemning discourses and to find an original means of expression instead. At the Periphery brings a new, textually centered approach to Green’s and Yourcenar’s works that is unlike the psychological analyses that often typify queer readings. It will be of great interest to scholars of twentieth-century French literature and of Gender Studies. The book will also appeal to non-academic readers, however, since it is about two French authors who were also American citizens and who wrote about US history and contemporary culture.
