«Entretiens Avec Professeur Y» is the fiction work by Louis-Ferdinand Céline in paperback format (123 pages, in French).
The book reproduces a conversation with Professor Y. Céline attacks the publishing world: bookshops are going through a serious sales crisis, the supposed big print runs are a mirage, and cinema, television or household appliances distance the public from reading.
The text was originally published in 1955; this edition is from 1996.
It will interest readers of twentieth-century French literature and followers of Céline's work.
Louis Ferdinand Auguste Destouches, better known by the pen name Louis-Ferdinand Céline, was a French novelist, polemicist, and physician. His first novel Journey to the End of the Night (1932) won the Prix Renaudot but divided critics due to the author's pessimistic depiction of the human condition and his writing style based on working-class speech. In subsequent novels such as Death on the Installment Plan (1936), Guignol's Band (1944) and Castle to Castle (1957), Céline further developed an innovative and distinctive literary style. Maurice Nadeau wrote: "What Joyce did for the English language...what the surrealists attempted to do for the French language, Céline achieved effortlessly and on a vast scale."
