What I Believe

Frangois Mauriac To the younger French reader today, M. Mauriac is better known as a journalist, as an academician, and even as a polemicist than as a novelist. Even ten years ago, when he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, in 1952, Mauriac was looked upon as a weekly adviser to the French, as a chronicler and critic of social and political and religious problems in his journalistic writings. In the twenty-odd novels he has published the first appeared in 1909 he is the writer deeply interested in the metaphysics of sin and drawn to the secret unconfessed dramas of his characters. He has been called too glibly a Catholic novelist, although in the strictest sense there is no such type of writer as a Catholic novelist.
