The tale of a man imprisoned and reviled by his own countrymen, the Fable follows its character's decline from virulent hatred to near madness as a result of his violent frustration with the hypocrisy and banality of his fellow human beings. In part because of the story's clear link to his own case -- and because of the legal and political difficulties this presented -- Celine was compelled to push his famously elliptical, brilliantly vitriolic language to new and extraordinary extremes in Fable for Another Time. The resulting linguistic and stylistic innovation make this work stand out as one of the most original and revealing literary undertakings of its time.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine (1894-1961) was a French writer and physician best known for the novels Journey to the End of the Night (1932) and Death on the Installment Plan (1936). Celine was accused of collaboration during World War II and fled France in 1944 to live first in Germany, then Denmark, where he was imprisoned for over a year; an amnesty in 1951 allowed him to return to France. Celine remains anathema to a large segment of French society for his antisemitic writings; at the same time his novels are enormously admired by each new generation.
