Living the life that he led - is Céline a prime example of anti-Romantacization?
To me, he is the antithesis to someone like Nabokov, whose entire work was founded on the chimerical or on idealistic fixation - and not served as critique.
Both Céline and Nabokov wrote books about an older man becoming fixated with a very young girl.
The journeys of Bardamu and Humbert across the American landscape struck a nerve with me, in their contrast.
It seems strange that someone like Nabokov would criticize someone like Céline.
Maybe due to Nabokov's inabiliy to comprehend colloquial writing.

i don´t know, nabokov have a too sensuous view to calibrate the literature. it fits in my world that celine doesn´t count at all to him. it doesn´t surprise me.

Céline is, even across the irrelevance of comparison, a much stronger stylist than Nabbycob

OP, what do you mean by Nabokov's 'chimeric and idealistic fixation'?

Is Céline's 'Exile' trilogy worth reading?
