«Dionysos ou la chasse aventureuse» is the prose poem by Julien Green, published by Fayard in paperback (120 pages, in French).
Written in 1922, it is a prose allegory inspired by the evangelical parable of the foolish virgins, with the Bible as a stylistic model. Green himself confessed that, in inventing this fable, he was writing his own story, from childhood to the threshold of old age. The text remained unpublished until its recovery in 1987.
The edition was published in October 1997 and the cover includes the label Œuvres de Julien Green above the title.
Julien Green, often Julian Green, was an American writer who lived most of his life in France and wrote mostly in French and only occasionally in English. Over a long and prolific career, he authored novels and essays, several plays, and a biography of Francis of Assisi, produced a four-volume autobiography, and for decades maintained a daily journal that he edited and published in nineteen volumes. The posthumous publication of the unexpurgated text of his journals presented a different version of his personality and sexuality, revealed details of the lives of many of his prominent contemporaries, and documented the gay subculture of 20th-century France.
