Céline, of course, wrote this on purpose to give Édith grounds for divorce. They had already been separated for a while at that time and there was no question of them living together. The letter is a legal trick. The writer’s second marriage to Lucette Almansor was happy. She outlived Céline by decades, dying at the age of 107.
My point is that people don’t know historical realities and draw baseless conclusions. The letter is not evidence of hostility but, to the contrary, a friendly gesture from Céline to his ex.

OT. This is fucking insane. Guess the ethnicity of the judge.

The marriage between Céline and Lucette – with their cat Bébert – is one of the strangest, strongest and most inspiring bonds between a literary genius and an artist (Lucette Almanzor was a dancer).
From 1936 to 1961, when France’s greatest writer of the twentieth century died, they shared everything: love, war, starvation, exile, illness, persecution; everything.
