McCarthy, Patrick Céline - A Critical Biography
London Allen Lane 1975 0713907673 / 9780713907674 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Very Good
A Fine unmarked copy with VG+ dustjacket which is not price clipped. 352 pages. Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894-1961), the pen name of Louis-Ferdinand Destouches, whose first novel Voyage au bout la nuit was not published until he was 38, and which has a strange hallucinatory style, the cynicism and pessimism of its hero, and the author's predilection for the more grotesque and baser elements of human nature, created a sensation in Parisian literary circles. Subsequent novels pursue the same search to identify man's weakness and his attempts to find identity in the face of degradation of war and industrial squalor. Although Céline has been recognised by many of his contemporaries, among them Sartre, as a writer of originality bordering on genius, his reputation among the reading public as a whole has remained obscure. This has much to do with his political convictions as with the perversities. This critical biography, the first full biography to be published in Britain, is a work of fascinating biographical research which sets out to identify an elusive and contradictory man. It is also a work of lucid and perceptive literary analysis which makes an important step towards re-establishing Céline's reputation.
