On "Rigodon" Celine worked slowly, with difficulty, lingering for weeks between continuous deletions and regrets. On the morning of July 1, 1961, you informed your wife and the publisher Gallimard that the book was finished. At 6 pm the same day, a cerebral hemorrhage killed him. The first twenty pages are set in the house of Meudon, on the outskirts of Paris, where Celine has to face journalists and annoyances of all kinds, obsessed with the invasion of Europe by the Chinese and the disappearance of the white race. Then the book becomes the re-enactment of a journey of three characters: Celine, her wife, and the cat Bébert, through that pile of burning rubble that was the Germany of 1944-45. It is the desperate journey through the collapse of Nazism, towards the longed-for Denmark. It is above all a formidable stylistic machine unleashed by a highly paranoid personality.
