1965 ca, FRANCE: The french writer MARCEL JOUHANDEAU (1888 - 1979). As a very young man, Marcel Jouhandeau discovered his homosexual feelings which provoked great guilt as offensive to God. Still, his feelings of shame did not prevent him from engaging in numerous homosexual acts and his whole life alternated between a celebration of the male body and mortification of sexuality. In 1914, during a mystical crisis, he burned his manuscripts and attempted suicide. Once the crisis had passed, he turned again to writing and created the village chronicles which brought him his first literary successes.
