By Louis-Ferdinand Céline ∙ September 26, 2018
Louis-Ferdinand Céline was the pen name of Louis Ferdinand Auguste Destouches (27 May 1894 – 1 July 1961), a French novelist, pamphleteer and physician. His works influenced a broad array of literary figures, not only in France but also in the English-speaking world and elsewhere in the Western World; this includes authors associated with modernism, existentialism, black comedy and the Beat Generation. Céline's vocal support for the Axis powers during the Second World War and his authorship of antisemitic pamphlets has complicated his legacy as cultural icon.

TRANSLATORS—About 18 months ago I asked SR readers for volunteers to help us translate documents into Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, German, Polish, Russian—or any other languages.
