Relation As Books Guignol's Band (Guignol's Band #1)

In Guignol's Band, first published in France in 1943, Céline explores the horror of a disordered world. The hero, the semi-autobiographical Ferdinand, moves through the nightmare of London's underworld during the years of World War I. In this distressing setting, he meets pimps and prostitutes, pawnbrokers and magicians, policemen and arsonists. He sees social and physiological decomposition as these processes unfold along parallel lines of development. The illusions of existence are nakedly exposed. The narrative erupts in Céline's characteristic elliptical style. His splintered sentences and scatology reflect his fury at the fragmentation of experience and at his own impotence in the face of it. Out of his rage, he forces the meaninglessness back on itself, and the exuberance of his struggle triumphs in the comic exaggeration of satire. Ultimately, his subject is not death but life, and he responds to it by a strengthened commitment to the sensual and concrete. His hallucinatory world is so vividly realized that it does, indeed, challenge the reality of the reader's more conventional world.

Assessment Of Books Guignol's Band (Guignol's Band #1)
Readers, friends, less than friends, enemies, Critics! Here I am at it again with Book I of Guignol! Don't judge me too soon! Wait awhile for what's to follow! Book II! Book III! it all clears up! develops, straightens out! As is, 3/4 of it's missing! Is that a way to do things? It had to be printed fast because with things as they are you don't know who's living or dead!So begins Louis-Ferdinand Céline's third 'proper' novel, published in 1943 if you believe the blurb on the back of the book,

So, did Monsieur Céline's Guignol's Band have me reading on a journey to the end of the night? Was it good enough to deny me a decent sized zzzzzzzzz? Er...no. He seemed more interested in breaking the world record for the novel with the greatest usage of the Exclamation mark. It read like one big slanging match, nothing like the brilliance of his most famous work. Set amongst a bombed out London during WW1, not that you would really know it, as the war hardly features at all. Céline is more

Strange book, even by Celinian standards. It's hard to find but worth it, if you love Louis Celine (aka. Dr. Destouches) as much as I do. Sometimes I think I AM Celine . . . . Hey, it's possible . . . vfor christ's sake . . . hah!

The scenes that were lucid enough to follow were pretty cool

It's Celine at his best. I really like the structure and style, exceeds his previous work. Highly recommend.

read this one before you start London Bridge. although it isn't as good, it is still great, and it sets the stage for London Bridge.
