this guy definitely

Why didn't that bastard Harold Bloom include the most important writer of the 19th century in his Western canon?

Zero.

Any questions?

the misfortunes and encounters of a broken man, the people he meets are shown as pathetic, greedy, nihilistic, cowardly etc... I think He wanted to show the dark side of the common man, in a time where everyone was going on about how oppressed and great they were. In the journey he said "Tout ce qui est intéressant se passe dans l’ombre,
décidément. On ne sait rien de la véritable histoire des
hommes. "

"All that is interesting is happening in the shadows,
definitely. Nothing is known about the true history of
men."

Maybe that's what he meant by night (Frenchfag here don't bully)

>Our French Republic is no more than a great gullet swallowing the negroizing of the French at the command of the Jews. Our governors are a clique of sadistic yids and yellow-bellied masons sworn to swallow us up, to bastardize us further, to boil us down by all the grotesque, primitive means of inter-mixture, part negro, part yellow, part white, part red, part monkey, part Jewish, part everything.

>Met with Celine in occupied Paris in 1940s

>"Our French Republic is no more than a great gullet swallowing the negroizing of the French at the command of the Jews. Our governors are a clique of sadistic yids and yellow-bellied masons sworn to swallow us up, to bastardize us further, to boil us down by all the grotesque, primitive means of inter-mixture, part negro, part yellow, part white, part red, part monkey, part Jewish, part everything."

How could somebody who wrote such wise and observational novels be so evil and racist?

>The worst part is wondering how you'll find the strength tomorrow to go on doing what you did today and have been doing for much too long, where you'll find the strength for all that stupid running around, those projects that come to nothing, those attempts to escape from crushing necessity, which always founder and serve only to convince you one more time that destiny is implacable, that every night will find you down and out, crushed by the dread of more and more sordid and insecure tomorrows.
>And maybe it's treacherous old age coming on, threatening the worst. Not much music left inside us for life to dance to. Our youth has gone to the ends of the earth to die in the silence of the truth. And where, I ask you, can a man escape to, when he hasn't enough madness left inside him? The truth is an endless death agony. The truth is death. You have to choose: death or lies. I've never been able to kill myself.
