Journey to the End of Night

  • 11362564_large
Louis-Ferdinand Céline's nihilistic philosophy and vulgar language distinguishes him as one of France's more assertive misanthropes, but he's also one of the 20th century's most influential scribes. Tonight, the McNally Robinson Book Club meets to discuss Journey to the End of Night, Céline's first and most famous novel. The story chronicles the misadventures of Ferdinand Bardamu through the ravages of WWI, colonial Africa, and Ford-era America. The semi-autobiographical antihero narrates with a cynicism that mirrors Céline's own darkly comic attitude.
