Description
Louis-Ferdinand CÉLINE. L.A.S. "LF Destouches", September 6 [1934, to Évelyne Pollet]; 3pages in-8 headed Ville de Clichy (Seine). Municipal hygiene and social assistance services. Municipal dispensaries. First, he discusses the health of his friend's husband (Robert Gevers): "At his age, there is no doubt that a swift and strict diet will bring back all the health he so desperately needs. But tobacco is the absolute poison of the heart". Then he turns to his American sojourn and the planned film adaptation of Journey to the End of the Night: "Nothing cinematic has happened in America. It was all just a journalistic invention - nothing more. I went to the United States for something else, something very personal, and that's all. For a thousand reasons, there's no question of the Voyage en film. I've never worked for Hollywood. They don't even know me"... Lettres (Pléiade), 34-44.
