Oh you done it now

Why the fuck did he hate Sartre so much? I get that they're politically speaking not entirely aligned, but he took aim against Jean-Baptiste Sartre specifically. Sartre absolutely loved his writing style as well.

Journey to the End of the Night

it unironically reminded me of Céline

>Huge and unrepentant asshole
>So anti-semitic he made the nazis uncomfortable (though he still supported them)
>Never apologized after the war, only got more radical
>Only wrote to pay the bills
>Still gets praised by everyone, including Stalin of all people and Jean Baptiste Sartre, whom he constantly shat on
How did he get away with it all?

>not just reading Céline to impress girls and then fuck em anyway when they try to resist
go fascist or go home
Also reading Foucault only impresses faggots, not girls.

His philosophy is a ripoff of Heidegger, his literature is a ripoff of Céline.
Jean-Baptiste Sartre has no merit.

Read Céline and you will understand

Ahem

Remember when great writers were hated by publishers and their greatness only begrudgingly admitted? And now we have them pushing mediocre nobodies instead.

What did he mean by this?

Why is he regarded as such a seminal writer? Journey reads more like a diary of an angry guy than a novel

Neither, you just need talent and that's all

He recognizes the wounds in French society, and he pushes into them, hard. Same with what Céline did back then, although Houellebecq is obviously not as talented as Céline.

Should've said "Hardmode: No Jews"
Anyway, pic related. Then again, what didn't he hate?

Go to Céline, who's superior in every way
