The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- His first novel Journey to the End of the Night won the Prix Renaudot but divided critics due to the author's pessimistic depiction of the human condition and his writing style based on working-class speech.
- In subsequent novels such as Death on the Installment Plan, Guignol's Band and Castle to Castle, Céline further developed an innovative and distinctive literary style.
- Maurice Nadeau wrote: "What Joyce did for the English language...what the surrealists attempted to do for the French language, Céline achieved effortlessly and on a vast scale." From 1937 Céline wrote a series of antisemitic polemical works in which he advocated a military alliance with Nazi Germany.
