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

    215 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.

    In Search of Céline

    1,704 words

    Claude Sarraute: “And what, in your opinion, is the tragic element of our epoch?”

    Céline: “Stalingrad. There’s the catharsis for you. The fall of Stalingrad was the end of Europe. There’s a cataclysm. The epicenter was Stalingrad. After that you can say white civilization was finished, really washed up.” (more…)

    I was using my Spectator-co-uk digital subscription to search for odds and ends in its wonky archive. What, I wondered, did the Speccy have to say about the Angry Young Men in the late 1950s? Better yet, what did they have on Colin Wilson and his friend, the ever-elusive Bill Hopkins?

    Not an awful lot, as it turns out. (more…)

    Céline Goes Hollywood, Part 2
    Céline Gets Graphic

    1,037 words

    The novel-memoirs of Louis-Ferdinand Céline have a peculiarly cinematic texture, like that of rough drafts for projected screenplays. He flashes sense-impressions and side-thoughts at the reader. For the neophyte, this can make for some hard going.

    On the other hand, these impressionistic prose-sketches can provide a series of clear visuals for anyone attempting to hammer a Céline tale into a script. This is particularly true of his Exile Trilogy  (more…)

    Céline Goes Hollywood

    1,860 words

    One of the saddest episodes in the life of Dr. Louis-Ferdinand Destouches, alias Louis-Ferdinand Céline, came right after he published his first novel in 1933.

    Voyage a la bout de la nuit (Journey to the End of the Night) was a succés d’estime from the start and before long a bestseller too. Surely it would be soon made into a major motion picture.

    Céline

    Celine0464 words

    Three pamphlets in which he spared none
    do not diminish my esteem.
    Rats in a stable are not horses.
    (How well he knew their beady eyes,
    steaming sewers and twisted knives!)

    The pamphlets are medals on his chest,
    pearls of truth upon his canon,
    while the gnawed brown beams of Europe
    crumble in the metro slums
    and France relents once more, and burns.

    Traducido por Francisco Albanese

    El concepto de anarquismo derechista parece paradójico, de hecho, oximorónico, partiendo desde la suposición de que todos los puntos de vista políticos “derechistas” incluyen una evaluación particularmente alta del principio de orden… En efecto, el anarquismo de derecha ocurre sólo en circunstancias excepcionales, cuando la hasta ahora velada afinidad entre el anarquismo y el conservadurismo puede hacerse aparente.  (more…)

    Céline’s Journey to the End of the Night

    Celine81,654 words

    Translated by Greg Johnson*

    Louis-Ferdinand Céline’s extraordinary “pamphlets” — Trifles for a Massacre, The School for Cadavers, A Fine Mess — may have caused many admirers to forget that our recently-minted prophet first surfaced in the literary world as a novelist. It seems to me that Journey to the End of the Night — illustrious though it may be, and as unforgettable as the arrival of a cyclone — is still neglected in accounting for the makeup of the prodigious artistic phenomenon that is Céline.
