Summary: Celine's Finest Moment
Comment: 'Death On The Installment Plan' is a raging animal of a novel that eclipses even Celine's own 'Journey' (though, it must be said, not by much). Structurally it's a shambles, but the unbelievable energy behind each & every sentence is enough to propel the reader straight through the 600-odd pages. What few of the other reviews have pointed out is how gut-bustingly funny this book is. A laugh a line with Celine and no mistake...More than that, 'Death...' contains absolutely the funniest sex scene ever written, bar none. While 'Journey' is tighter and harsher and the later works are more crazily surreal, 'Death...' is the shot of pure Celine that literature needed when it was first published and which the literate world could use another dose of now. And that's no Cambridge lie.
Rating: 5
Summary: Brilliant
Comment: You'll either love it or hate it. No in between. Celine's cynical coming of age story as told through the eyes of truth vs illusions we create....or was he telling it through disillusioned eyes?
Rating: 5
Summary: A Renewal of Life...
Comment: Andre Gide said of Celine, "...he writes not about reality, but of the hallucinations which reality provokes"...this is most evident in Mort, Celine takes us into his early bourgeois childhood and in so defines it as 'stale, petite and engaged with episodes of merde and vomit'...it's a hillarious romp through life's false mirror...
