Far removed from scholarly publications, indigestible academic tomes, or stifling, pudding-like essays, this vitriolic account should be read with the curiosity of a child, or the avidity of a free-spirited Céline enthusiast—which should be a tautology… Émeric Cian-Grangé offers us here the chance to finally unveil what lies beneath the surface. The secrets of his past rages, his wounded loves, and also his battles. The one the author waged with perseverance, endurance, and open-mindedness: giving voice to the readership. A particularly fitting approach given that Céline himself honed his prose in the suburbs, in the Passage Choiseul, while reading Dabit. Enriched with numerous previously unpublished appendices, this collection of portraits and settling of scores—from the most anonymous reader to the most illustrious Céline scholars—sounds the death knell for compromise, but can at least proclaim its authenticity. This book thus retraces the journey of a passion born in high school, but which would steadfastly refute the schoolboy mentality that Céline criticized.
