The 69 Greatest (Fiction) Travel Books of All Time: Wherever anti-hero Bardamu goes - Celine's unforgettably dark, caustic voice is there. -- Boris Kachka
The terrifying French novelist, Louis Ferdinand Celine-an enormously powerful and slashing, satiric, misanthropic writer. But what power of the imagination! --James Laughlin, founder of New Directions

Celine is my Proust!--Philip Roth
This is the novel, perhaps more than any other, that inspired me to write fiction. Celine showed me that it was possible to convey things that had heretofore seemed inaccessible.--Will Self
Louis-Ferdinand Celine (1894-1961) was a French writer and doctor whose novels are antiheroic visions of human suffering. Accused of collaboration with the Nazis, Celine fled France in 1944 first to Germany and then to Denmark. Condemned by default (1950) in France to one year of imprisonment and declared a national disgrace, Celine returned to France after his pardon in 1951, where he continued to write until his death. His classic books include Journey to the End of the Night, Death on the Installment Plan, London Bridge, North, Rigadoon, Conversations with Professor Y, Castle to Castle, and Normance.
