Louis-Ferdinand CÉLINE. 5L.A.S. "LF", [Korsør 1950-1951?], to Robert Le Vigan; 2pages small in-4 and 7pages in-fol., one envelope to Adrogue (Argentina). Unpublished letters to the actor 21st: "You've become a real jerk and a gnat since you fell in with the Indians! You give me lessons in morality and diplomacy". Maurice Rémy is "a provocateur bourrique gagé de toujours. [...] I can still see him going up rue Girardon to sell me to the Reich". Céline criticizes Le Vigan for showing his letters... "I'm a prisoner here on parole. That's all I am. Hostage. And the Public Prosecutor in Paris refuses to lift my arrest warrant. It's as if I'd never been tried. I have to go to Le Bourget to serve my contumacy, which means the whole thing starts all over again. Do you understand CON? December 25, 1950. "Happy who like Ulysses has made a long journey" from the Butte to the Cordillera and Pampa via Sieg and Christmas is mimi! At least now you can safely write your memoirs". As for him, he's still a prisoner: "The slightest misdemeanor and they send me to Fresnes! They've been waiting for that for 6 years! Everything is Palestinian and mascaille and Lutheran here, bugger and faggot and spies and chickens. We don't live anymore, it's simple. La Cahute - 7 kilometers from everything - barely briffing [...] The Russians' shit makes them more anti-Nazi than ever. [...] I'm a hunted animal under a porte cochere - glad I'm not in the pound (19 months) with my ailing wife, and all around me jackals who just want to send me to the slaughterhouse - and no more money. I live in credo with a nasty, snobbish bastard - a prudhomme Joseph - cruel and Protestant tartufe - despicable - who wants us for the French bafouillage - we're his Linguaphones records. [...] I've got him by the side of the road - Féerie - which is supposed to be helping me out! You're talking! Nonsense!"... He recalls his meeting with Robert Soupault in '43 at the Ministry of the Interior... The 26th: "But dear old man, you're delirious. It's precisely getting rid of me that the Danish authorities don't want at all! As long as there's an arrest warrant! [...] The justice schmout archi chmout here in perfect ankle with that of Paris. Puceau! It's perfectly hermetic persecution in its asylum aspect". He can't go to Switzerland or Sweden: "Prisoner on parole is my status [...] the Paris Public Prosecutor absolutely refuses to lift the warrant, so I'm locked up here. [...] The local embassy, all Communist, A.F. and Negro, sends monthly reminders to the E.A. that I should be extradited - in agreement with the virulent and dreaded local Communist press. I add that Charbonnière (very secretive) vychissois dissident pedoc - hysterical epileptic - has lovers in very high places! hates me in particular - ambassador here for 7 years! [...] Mme Voilier (Leviton) heiress of Denoël (his fiancée!) is yours and yours with the Bidault household - yes darling! [...] You know how Robert Denoël ended up, in the moonlight... very pedoc himself... Mme Voilier his famous dyke fiancée (and Leviton! I'm being watched! Not a word of this. That would be very serious"... Other unkind remarks about Gen Paul, Carco, Zuloaga... 10th: "No, no help - charity from anyone, even very discreetly - at any price. Don't even hint to anyone that we're in trouble. It's been 7 years since I earned a penny. We've had to live shit, even very shit. Herrings don't fall from the sky and I don't get anything from anyone - ever. This latest operating disaster has been covered by small and large sacrifices... [...] Monnier admirable finds a way to feed us a little at the moment through foreign sales! But it's precarious. However, my books are selling more or less, through what cyclones and what hostilities! international! I'm robbed, plagiarized, demarcated, counterfeited, it's a dwarf that delights many a publishing scoundrel!"... Lucette is better and back to training. "I'll take up my old camelot clown's lute again and try to put my shack back together - sell a new bear!"... The 15th. He reproaches her for her "incurable indiscretion. We're writing to you, not to the Place Publique!"...
