/lit/, what do you think of celine's "journey

was okay on average. the first half was alienating in a wonderful way but the second half was boring.

while i was reading it one day i went to the bathroom at work and tucked it under my arm but dropped it and it landed in the peepuddle beneath the urinal. "that is appropriate considering the novel i am reading" i said aloud.

fascist tripe

I disliked it, i thought it was bland and uninteresting for the most part although i did enjoy that in different places it reminded me of Voltaire, Conrad and Kafka, so it had that going for it.
but a shitter version of each(yea even shitter than Voltaire)

3/5.

Good when it wanted to be.

It was pretty great, the stylism itself was able to entertain.

one my favorites although it can get a little tiring at some points

Greatest French novel of the 20th century along with In Search of Lost Time

I read the first bit but gave it up

Typical non-criticism that prevents Celine from being recognized

Proust of the proletariat desu famiglia.

Now listen here comrade, I'm as Socialist as they come, but if you can't appreciate JTTEOTN then I would like to have a good chat about it with you.

If you can't understand the kind of bleakness and hopelessness that leads to Fascism, then you can't combat it and put forward a convincing counter-point to the Fascist death-drive.

Can someone possibly like both? They're pretty much as opposite as possible.
