«L'avenir n'est à personne» is Julien Green's diary covering 1990-1992, published by Fayard in paperback (448 pages, in French).
Diary entries by Julien Green between 1990 and 1992, in which the author observes with pessimism war, AIDS, violence, and threats to freedom of expression. As a counterweight, he champions faith and writing to abolish time, and leaves room for the beauty of the world, Bach's music, the Scriptures, and nostalgia for childhood.
The volume's subtitle is «Journal 1990-1992»; it is part of Fayard's «Littérature Française» collection, and the cover places it in the «Œuvres de Julien Green» series.
For readers of intimate diaries and contemporary French memoir literature, with an interest in the work of Julien Green.
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.
