French writer and journalist From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert de Saint Jean (1901–1987) was a French writer and journalist. He was the companion of the French-speaking American writer Julien Green. Like Green, he kept a diary which he eventually published. It provides insight into French society and cultural life over several decades.
He worked, in particular, for Paris-Soir, le Parisien libéré, and Paris Match.
When France fell to the Nazis in 1940, he was deputy chief of staff to the French minister of information. His writing had made him a personal enemy of German foreign minister Joachim von Ribbentrop. Green arranged for him to gain entry to Portugal and then transfer to the US.[1]
In 1984 he received the Prix Marcel Proust. He also worked as editor for the Plon publishing house.
