Louis-Ferdinand CÉLINE (1894-1961). L.A.S. "F Destouches", [December 1937?], to John Marks; 1 1/2 pages in-4. To his English translator, on Death on Credit and Bagatelles for a Massacre. "My old man, All this is distressing! Your England is impossible under its so liberal aspects! It is doomed to babble. It's a cloister of Jews and old maids. [...] How is Death on Credit, you don't tell me. If you can't finish it (and I don't blame you!) why don't you pass it on to a translator boyfriend or girlfriend? The next one - Bagatelles pour un massacre will be out in 10 days - is fiercely anti-Jewish, who's going to do it in England? And it has to be translated very quickly, otherwise it'll go out of fashion"...
