Anyone, regardless of political or aesthetic orientation, is capable of entertaining the egregious belief that one race or gender is inferior to another.

You can enjoy the work the novelist known as Louis-Ferdinand Céline (Jim Morrison alludes to Céline’s most famous novel), in spite of his beliefs, but you cannot deny that he held those beliefs.

Alongside Marcel Proust, Céline is considered one of the greatest French novelists and stylists of the twentieth century, notably for his 1932 masterpiece, Voyage au bout de la nuit (Journey to the End of the Night). He is also recognized as a vile anti-Semite, xenophobe, misogynist, misanthropist, and early pro-Nazi who nourished the general defeatist spirit before and during the war and who, through his writings and articles, infused into French society a deeply insidious anti-Semitism.
