thoughts?

Kind of strange how in the first half he goes on a series of different adventures and in the second half he's just a doctor. It's like they're two different books.

I liked when he was in NYC, I got lonely feels.

Beautifully written, I was stunned. Are Celine's other books that good?
>that part on the ship when Bardamu talks his way out of getting lynched by other passengers

Mort à crédit is superior.

Worth reading. Reading The Recognition now. Celine was a greater primer.

Not half as bleak as I expected it to be. Guess /lit/ is mostly visited by wussies

I really liked it, but had to stop at about 1/3 due to personal affairs, when he arrived in NYC.
Should I resume reading or start all over?

>>8636966
keep going

It's kind of good but gets repetitive after some reading time, I don't know if it was the translation's fault.

>Not reading it in french

Dude srsly ?

Mort à Crédit is also amazing. Just read the first paragraph and you'll see. Also, Bagatelles pour un Massacre, despite being an antisemitic pamphlet, is worth it for the conversations about dancers. They're in my opinion, the most beautiful prose passages in French literature.

First half: incredible
After he returns to France: zzzzzzzzzzzz

Solid 3/5. Great when reigned in, boring when it goes on for too long.

The best part, and the part that stays with me, more than the overrated boat scene, is when he looks upon the man who sacrificed his life for the young girl far and how the truly good should marked. One of the few times the /lit/ feels have gotten to me

They are excellent. Mort à Crédit, Castle to Castle, North... and his interviews are funny (from 1957 to 1961). I haven't read his pamphlets yet (except Mea Culpa which is a brilliant charge against communism).
