Life pre-modernity wasn’t any fairer

He had a problem with existence as a whole. Today, this attitude is present in a lit of art, however, in Celine’s times (before institutionalized existentialism) it was a revolutionary approach.

I find him more aesthetic than Camus

>> No.10387449

>>10385971
he didn't like how awful people were and was acutely aware they were awful and irredeemable and wanted to go back to some magic period where this was mitigated by community and family. I'm jealous as fuck of all the puss he got tho

>> No.10387456

His empathy actually.

A lot of people see him as the villain of 20th century literature, but truly he was a kind, talented guy thrown in the worst possible circumstances

Brilliant writer

War changed him. He became profoundly nihilistic because of the horror he witnessed during WWII.

Being right about everything. Then before WW2 he wrote a pamphlet about ((them)) accusing the Anglo and Americans of being warmongers.
Thank you Danes for not sending him right back to France, probably saved him
