Journey to the End of the Night by Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Presents a picture of the years during the First World War as seen by an underdog. This book is based on the author's own experiences during the First World War; in French colonial Africa; in the USA - where he worked for a while at the Ford factory in Detroit - and later as a young doctor in a working class suburb in Paris.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine is one of the most controversial writers of the twentieth century, a writer who mixed realism with imaginative fantasy, and like his contemporary Henry Miller, who is much compared to him, an iconoclast who shocked and frightened many of his readers. Celine, 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.
