 | | André Gide, one of the premier French writers of the twentieth century, reflected his homosexuality in many of his numerous works. |
 | | Gide was born in Paris on November 22, 1869, at what he later termed a "crossroads," the intersection of his father Paul's southern, Huguenot, and modest upbringing, and his mother Juliette Rondeaux's Norman, bourgeois, and wealthy background. |
 | | As a youth, Gide suffered from fits, headaches, insomnia, unexplainable fatigues, and feelings of insecurity, the physical and mental manifestations of an unsettling and confused childhood. |
