Remembering Louis-Ferdinand Céline:
May 27, 1894–July 1, 1961

Greg Johnson

188 words

Louis-Ferdinand Céline was the pen name of French novelist, essayist, and physician Louis-Ferdinand-Auguste Destouches, who was born on this day in 1894. Céline is one of the giants of 20th-century literature. And, like Ezra Pound and so many other great writers of the last century, he was an open and unapologetic racial nationalist. For more on Céline, see the following works on this website:

  • Louis-Ferdinand Céline, “Céline on Journey to the End of the Night“
  • Louis-Ferdinand Céline, “Tempest in a Teapot: Céline on Sartre“
  • Robert Brasillach, “Céline’s Journey to the End of the Night“
  • Robert Brasillach, “Céline’s Trifles for a Massacre“
  • François Gardet, Preface to Céline’s The School for Cadavers
  • François Gardet, Introduction to Céline’s Trifles for a Massacre
  • Greg Johnson, “Louis-Ferdinand Céline’s Trifles for a Massacre” (Spanish translation here)
  • Margot Metroland, “The Enduring Reputation of Louis-Ferdinand Céline“
  • Margot Metroland, “Céline at Sigmaringen, 1944–45“
  • J. J. Przybylski, “Shakespeare. Céline. Secrets at Bottom“
  • Tomislav Sunić, “Louis-Ferdinand Céline—An Anarcho-Nationalist“
  • Karlheinz Weißman, “Right-Wing Anarchism” (Czech translation here)
  • Dominique Venner, “Céline: Literary Giant and Racial Nationalist“
  • Leo Yankevich, “Céline“

The best online resource about Céline is Le Petit Célinien, http://lepetitcelinien.blogspot.com/

    I grew up reading Burroughs and Kerouac, becoming fairly knowledgeable about their intellectual histories. The name Céline was always popping up as an author they both admired. Unfortunately, I waited a long time to read him but when later I finally did I was thoroughly impressed. I cannot recommend him highly enough. One way to describe him is as an intellectual, European Charles Bukowski. If you like Bukowski (with some reservations or not) and you are a White Nationalist you will love Céline.
