On the Contrary: Double standard in controversy over banned satirist Dieudonné
By Michael Hoffman
The Times article invokes the "Holocaust" and even Louis Ferdinand Céline, the finest French novelist of the 20th century. (According to Peggy Guggenheim, Samuel Beckett considered Céline's Journey to the End of the Night as the greatest novel ever written). Because he was a former combat soldier in World War I who became a pacifist opposed to a fratricidal war with Germany, and a merciless satirist of all things Talmudic, his ghost is invoked in order to haunt the mise-en-scène with the terrifying (to the Zionists) possibility that Dieudonné could become the next Céline.
