anyone who has engaged with humanity to the extent that celine did, to the point of being recognized for bravery in combat and later working as a doctor for the poor, can say whatever the fuck they want about anything

>Obviously Alcide was perfectly at ease, at home so to speak, in the higher regions, on terms of familiarity with the angels. You wouldn't have known it to look at him. With hardly a thought of what he was doing, he had consented to years of torture, to the crushing of his life in this torrid monotony for the sake of a little girl to whom he was vaguely related. Motivated by nothing but his good heart, he had set no conditions and asked nothing in return. To that little girl far away he was giving enough tenderness to make the whole world over, and he never showed it.
>Suddenly he fell asleep in the candlelight. After a while I got up to look at his face. He slept like everybody else. He looked quite ordinary. There ought to be some mark by which to distinguish good people from bad. There are two ways of getting into the jungle.

During the Occupation of France, [Céline] wrote letters to several collaborationist journals, denouncing the Jews. Even some Nazis thought Céline's antisemitic pronouncements were so extreme as to be counter-productive.

Was there any great writer of the 19th or 20th century who wasn't antisemitic!

He shifted his concerns to the Chinese later. One of the funniest parts of Rigadoon is where he talks about teaching his parrot to sing the Chinese national anthem so that it might be spared during the inevitable Chinese occupation of France.

This is very funny. I imagine Ignatius Reilly being transported to 1943 France and writing that stuff and being rejected for going too far. My God.

It's much better in context, since it's contrasted with the actual empty humid hell in which Alcide and Celine were, and which Celine spends pages bemoaning beforehand. Also much better in French, but for Celine that goes without saying.

And I hate his later political rants.
