«Each Man in His Darkness» is the novel by Julien Green, published by Quartet Encounters in paperback (347 pages, in English).
The novel follows Wilfred, a young salesman in New York who tries to reconcile his Catholic faith with desire and guilt. Around him, friends and family hide their obsessions and miseries, in a gothic atmosphere of moral tension and secrecy. Green traces a psychological portrait of loneliness, redemption, and human contradictions.
This English edition, translated by Anne Green and with an introduction by Giovanni Lucera, corresponds to a work originally published in French as «Chaque homme dans sa nuit».
For readers of contemporary fiction seeking psychological novels and gothic atmospheres.
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.
