A classic
Louis-Ferdinand Céline was one of the most controversial writers of the twentieth century, a writer who mixed realism with imaginative fantasy, and like his contemporary Henry Miller, an iconoclast who shocked and frightened many of his readers. Céline, the pen name of L.F. Destouches, was a doctor in poor Parisian districts whose experience of the misery and chicanery of the poor gave him a jaundiced view of humanity that he poured into prose, that is comic, as well as often frightening and obscene.
The most blackly humorous and disenchanted voice in all of French
literature.
*London Review of Books*
If the French demand bad behaviour from their novelists, they got
more than they bargained for with the antisemitic Céline. But they
were also getting the prose stylist of the century.
*The Guardian*
