description: The themes that are interwoven like leimotive in Julien Green's Journal--love, death, art, dreams, water, etc.--are also abundantly present in his novels. They are bound together like threads in a tapestry, an image that Green uses so effectively in his oeuvre. Just as one may follow a thread and thus discern its function in relation to the whole, so may one follow a theme throughout the rich gamut of Julien Green's fiction and arrive at a deeper understanding of his art. This critical study is complemented by a companion work, A Thematic Concordance of Julien Green's Journal (Summa Publications), that has proven useful for Green scholars.
