Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.com
Louis-Ferdinand Celine's second novel continues the style of black humor and the delirious but immediate prose that made the author instantly famous in his native France in the aftermath of World War I. Celine's goal was to create a kind of literature that described people in honest terms, unembellished by the conventions of fiction, no matter how mean and crummy they were, and to portray them in the real language of everyday life and thought. He succeeds darkly and brilliantly in Death on the Installment Plan, yet it is also a sweet kind of book, a young boy's coming-of-age tale, struggling with his parents and looking for his own kind of personal freedom.

I concede two stars to this book only because I assume that I read a bad translation. Celine certainly shouldn't be criticized because I can't read French when there are so many other good reasons to criticize him! I've heard Celine's influence on Bukowski commented on several times, and I can only assume that this is because of Bukowski's admission of having read Celine, since the two authors are connected in no other way. Whereas Bukowski's HAM ON RYE is a timeless exploration of what it means to be a youth in America, Celine resorts to self-pitying and annoying drivel. Celine displays none of the youthful self-examination that lends beauty to the horrible events of Bukowski's life. Instead, all misfortune is blamed on those Celine comes in contact with, begging the question: If all of the characters are horrible thieves and liars and the author/narrator is a whining, sniveling self-apologist, then where is the sympathy of the reader to reside? It is because of this lack of compassion with the people of the book that interest is lost quicly. After that loss of interest, the book is simply one anecdote after another from the life of a man bathing in his own self-pity.

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...

The Doctor of Rage
Dr. Destouches, Louis-Ferdinand, whatever you want to call him, this man is the essence of 20th century spleen, frenetic overkill, hyperbolic, high-velocity anathema. Lesen Sie weiter...

There's only one Celine.
In style this is similar to Journey to the End of the Night. It has the same angry-hurt tone but is concerned with his youth. Because of that it hits the perfect tone. Lesen Sie weiter...
