Abstract:
A paper presented at the international colloquium "L'Humour d'expression française", Paris VIII, June 1988. Discusses three works by Céline - "Bagatelles pour un massacre" (1937), "L'École des cadavres" (1938), and "Les beaux draps" (1941). These works have been defined by writers and critics as comic, but they do not meet the basic requirements for comic writing due to their antisemitic and racist content. Critics who try to isolate the pamphlets from their historical context are themselves accomplices in this hatred.
