About Author

  1. Louis Ferdinand C line, pen name of Dr Louis Ferdinand Destouches, is best known for his works Voyage au bout de la nuit Journey to the End of the Night , and Mort cr dit Death on the Installment Plan His highly innovative writing style using Parisian vernacular, vulgarities, and intentionally peppering ellipses throughout the text was used to evoke the cadence of speech.Louis Ferdinand Destouches was raised in Paris, in a flat over the shopping arcade where his mother had a lace store His parents were poor father a clerk, mother a seamstress After an education that included stints in Germany and England, he performed a variety of dead end jobs before he enlisted in the French cavalry in 1912 two years before the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 While serving on the Western Front he was wounded in the head and suffered serious injuries a crippled arm and headaches that plagued him all his life but also winning a medal of honour Released from military service, he studied medicine and emigrated to the USA where he worked as a staff doctor at the newly build Ford plant in Detroit before returning to France and establishing a medical practice among the Parisian poor Their experiences are featured prominently in his fiction.Although he is often cited as one of the most influential and greatest writers of the twentieth century, he is certainly a controversial figure After embracing fascism, he published three antisemitic pamphlets, and vacillated between support and denunciation of Hitler He fled to Germany and Denmark in 1945 where he was imprisoned for a year and declared a national disgrace He then received amnesty and returned to Paris in 1951 Kurt Vonnegut, Jr Henry Miller, William Burroughs, and Charles Bukowski have all cited him as an important influence.Translated Profiles

  4. In C line s Death on the Installment Plan, scornful young Ferdinand unenthusiastically lugs readers along on the series of farcical mis adventures also known as his childhood We encounter monstrously preposterous characters and stories with varying dimensions of outlandish implausibility And through it all, we end up sympathizing completely with his disgust, contempt, frustration, and underlying disappointment For although Ferdinand is emphatically vitriolic, bitter, pessimistic and snide, he is [...]

  6. Relentless, unforgiving, morbid, histrionic, hilarious, insufferable, in permanent fear of a full clause, miserable, depressing, sick minded this pell mell assault on taste and the universe pirouettes along its two billion ellipses and nine zillion exclamation points into a world of squalor and shit and the doldrums of being a French peasant at the dawn of modernism C line takes the kitchen sink horror of Zola and reinstates the swear words Zola s late Victorian censors forbade him, adding a st [...]

  13. Pure unadulterated brilliance Celine is one of those few authors one comes across whose genius makes one appreciate life, art, and the great fortune one has to be able to experience it Celine s writings are like a dark gem shining blackly in a sea of mediocre banality Celine manages to mix severe misanthropy, pessimism, violent disgust with life and humanity with hilarity Easily one of the best books I ve ever read as well as one of the most humorous This isn t happy humor though It is darkly hu [...]

  14. Simultaneously one of the most depressing and hilarious novels I ve read The author has creative sex metaphors that would make fan fiction authors weep.The style has changed considerably since Journey to the End of the Night There is still the same nihilistic mocking tone, the paranoia, the distrust of everything But instead of tense packed essays, this novel is studded with ellipses like bullet holes See Celine taking out a Chicago typewriter and blasting down the ennui of interwar bourgeois an [...]

  18. As soon as things begin to look up a little, all people can think of is piggishness Louis Ferdinand C line is a virtuoso of explicit narration, a prodigy of grotesque and a czar of cynicism You re working too hard You re a sap You think they appreciate it If you knock yourself out, who s going to take care of you Not your boss, I bet Buy me a menthe, kid I ll sing you The Girl from Mostaganem It ll drive you crazy, you ll see For that little number she d hike up her skirt front and back She didn [...]

  25. The master of the ellipse, Celine recounts his tragi comic career as a youth and doctor in the Paris suburb of Montemartre If you know Celine, this is his darkest but, in my opinion , most beautifully and vividly written novel He spins and sputters off into an inner world that has great clarity concerning the surrounding outer world, without any great ability to relate properly to it.I just found myself relating to like my own If you are new to Celine, think of it as Bukowski meets Moulin Rouge [...]

  29. Wherever I go lately in literature, it seems the French have been there first Today s episode of this might be called, How the French saved Modernism from itself Or at least, how C line did This companion to Journey to the End of the Night can be read equally well by itself In it, a boy why Ferdinand, it just so happens is his name grows up at the turn of the century in middle class Paris This story looks closely at that boy and that environment, and adds a creative twist to the literary techniq [...]
