Journey to the End of the Night [Paperback]

C?lines masterpiececolloquial, polemic, hyper realisticboils over with bitter humor and revulsion at societys idiocy and hypocrisy:?C?lines masterpiececolloquial, polemic, hyper-realistic,boiling over with black humor The most blackly humorous and disenchanted voice in all of French literature. My favorite French classic has to be This is the novel, perhaps more than any other, that inspired me to write fiction.?C?line showed me thatit was possible to convey things that had heretofore seemed inaccessible. Teeming with disease, misanthropy, and dark comedy. An extraordinarily gifted writer, he writes like a lunging live wire, crackling and wayward, full of hidden danger. Terrifying: enormously powerful and slashing, satiric, misanthropicbut what power of the imagination! One of the greatest novels of the twentieth century. It could be said that without C?line there would have been no Henry Miller, no Jack Kerouac, no Charles Bukowski. C?line is my Proust!
