Drawing on a wealth of unpublished letters and documents and first-ever interviews with Céline's widow, Frederic Vitoux brilliantly weaves together all the available information on Céline into an extraordinary portrait of Céline's tempestuous life and times.

Describes the complex and contradictory figure of Céline who rose to fame following the publication of his masterpiece, Journey to the End of the Night, and then fell from grace during the final twenty years of his life.
