On the boat she had an improbable involvement with the bitterly anti-Semitic French novelist Louis-Ferdinand Céline, who, she says, wanted to marry her. ("Don't you know that fanatics, if they hate Jews, love to marry Jewish women?") It was from this trip that she came back fully determined to be a professional.
