Louis ferdinand celine journey to the end of the night
He is sent to a hospital in Paris, where he is treated, gets a medal and meets Lola, an American nurse. Of course, it all goes wrong and Bardamu is wounded. One night, when on reconnaissance, he meets a reservist called Robinson and they plan to desert. He accepts that he has nothing in particular against the Germans and that he is a coward. He soon realises that this was a big mistake, as the army and war are no fun. One day in 1914, hearing military music, he eagerly signs up for the French army. Poor old Céline, he must have been one hell of a sad son of a bitch. Few if any of the characters have any redeeming features. No-one ends up happy or even close to happy. It really is one of the most depressing works you could read. If you are looking for a bit of light relief, don’t read this book.
