Louis-Ferdinand Céline

(27 May 1894 – 1 July 1961)

Louis Ferdinand Auguste Destouches (known by the pen name Louis-Ferdinand Céline) was a French novelist, physician, and rhetorician who was infamous for siding with the Nazi party during the World War II occupation of France. Though his work was quite influential, he was antisemitic, misogynist, cowardly, and fascist, and remains a controversial figure in French literature.

21st Century French Literature

I was excited to read War — not because I’m a big fan of Céline, but because it’s a small piece of lost history that didn’t actually end up being lost. Now, all they need to find is a copy of Tod Browning’s London After Midnight.
