Abstract
The impasse experienced by Julien Green is not a clear-cut opposition between his faith (his belonging to the Roman Catholic Church) on the one hand, and his homosexuality, on the other hand. The “impasse” for him is that each of those two antithetical states includes elements from the other one: there is a sexual enjoyment in his connection to religion and the sexual practice contains a call to the sublimation of instincts. Ultimately, writing may offer him an exit; this is the assumption on which this paper concludes.
