Based Celine.

Who is your favourite 20th century novelist? For me it's Louis Ferdinand Céline, the greatest French novelist along with Flaubert and Stendhal.

I read random parts of Céline's antisemitic pamphlets when I'm bored, they are hilarious. Pure hysterical shitposting with great prose, beautiful use of slang.
I'm a leftist, but I can't be offended at his nuclear takes on Jews because it's so over the top, I can't really take him seriously (and as far as I know, he never snitched on anyone personally during occupation).
I'm glad they are untranslatable though. /pol/tards would ape his style and think they are intelligent for it. I have already seen this happening on a French ecofash forum and it was extremely cringe.

It's easily the funniest book I've ever read and I never understood how it could show up on those depressing book charts made here. The whole thing is an increasingly outrageous tall tale.
