Louis-Ferdinand Céline was the pen name of French writer and physician Louis-Ferdinand-Auguste Destouches. 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 honor of Céline’s birthday, I wish to draw your attention to the following works on this site:
- Louis-Ferdinand Céline, “Tempest in a Teapot: Céline on Sartre“
- François Gardet, Preface to Céline’s The School for Cadavers
- François Gardet, Introduction to Céline’s Trifles for a Massacre
- Greg Johnson, “Louis-Ferdinand Céline’s Trifles for a Massacre“
- Tomislav Sunić, “Louis-Ferdinand Céline—An Anarcho-Nationalist“
- Karlheinz Weißman, “Right-Wing Anarchism” (Czech translation here)
The best online resource about Céline, which I check daily, is Le Petit Célinien, http://lepetitcelinien.blogspot.com/
