He revolutionized the novel.
He shattered language.
He destroyed his own name.
Louis-Ferdinand Céline was one of the most electrifying writers of the twentieth century — and one of its most toxic. From the trenches of World War I to the scandal that followed his political pamphlets, from literary genius to exile and imprisonment, his life reads like a fevered novel he might have written himself.
In this gripping, cinematic biography, Evan Blackmoor takes readers inside the making of Journey to the End of the Night, the book that stunned Paris and changed modern prose forever. But fame came at a cost. As Europe darkened in the 1930s, Céline's rage hardened into ideology, and his brilliance became inseparable from controversy.
Was he a visionary? A moral catastrophe? Both?
Drawing on newly rediscovered manuscripts, historical archives, and modern American scholarship, CÉLINE: Genius in the Shadows confronts the question that still divides universities, critics, and readers:
Can we separate genius from stain?
For readers of Robert Caro, Ron Chernow, and Claire Tomalin — this is biography at full voltage.
Provocative. Unflinching. Impossible to ignore.
