Media Reviews
The most blackly humorous and disenchanted voice in all of French literature. * London Review of Books *
If the French demand bad behaviour from their novelists, they got more than they bargained for with the antisemitic Celine. But they were also getting the prose stylist of the century. -- Tibor Fischer * The Guardian *
Author's Bio
Louis-Ferdinand Celine was one of the most controversial writers of the twentieth century, a writer who mixed realism with imaginative fantasy, and like his contemporary Henry Miller, an iconoclast who shocked and frightened many of his readers. Celine, the pen name of L.F. Destouches, was a doctor in poor Parisian districts whose experience of the misery and chicanery of the poor gave him a jaundiced view of humanity that he poured into prose, that is comic, as well as often frightening and obscene.
