Now I am beginning to take notes on reading La nausee by Sartre. Everyday, if possible. But I don't want to spend more than 15 minutes a day on this. So I'll go page by page.
What a project.
Here is what Sartre quoted at the beginning of La nausee:
"C'est un garçon sans importance collective, c'est tout juste un individu."
And this from Céline's L'Eglise.
In the eyes of a group of which he is a member, the boy has no importance whatsoever. So? But without valorization of some kind does an individuality hold?
And why Céline? Think about the status Céline held around 1938, the year of the publication of this work.
And what Céline meant for Sartre, satyre. Very interesting.
"Importance collective" is a rather interesting phrase I'd love too keep in mind.
