Julien Green was born September 6 , 1900 to Irish-American parents in Paris , a descendet from a Confederate Senator.
He was educated at the University Of Virginia in the United States from 1920-23. A devout Catholic, most of his books focused on the ideas of faith and religion as well as hypocrisy. Several of his books dealt with the southern United States.
