Elisabeth Craig was the American dancer, born in 1902, Céline had met in Geneva in late 1926 or early 1927, and he lived in Paris from 1927 to 1933, a very open, interrupted by stays of Elisabeth in the United States. Henri Mahé describes it thus: "Great cobalt green eyes [...]. Fine little nose ... A rectangular face and sensual [...]. Pulling long red golden hair in ringlets to his shoulders "(The Brinquebale avec Céline.)
In one of the first interviews after the publication of Journey to the End of the Night, Céline appointment as one of three teachers: `an American dancer who has taught me all about the rhythm, music and movement '( interview with M. Bromberger, Cahiers Céline, I, pp. 31-32).
In June 1933, Elisabeth went to the United States temporarily thought Celine, but this time did not return and he used his trip to the United States in the summer of 1934 to go to Los Angeles to try to persuade her to return France. But Elisabeth had decided to break. Céline always remembered the last meeting, on which we lack secure information, like a nightmare. No doubt that Elisabeth was the woman who was more united and played more than any other, a role in his life.
