Summary
Louis-Ferdinand Celine: War
The inimitable, fiery and monstrously piercing voice we know from Journey to the End of the Night comes back in all its power in this novel, found sixty years after Celine's death. At the very beginning of the book, Ferdinand tells how in October 1914 in Polkapele, Belgium, he was seriously wounded in the right arm and head, lying on the ground, bleeding, surrounded by corpses, dying of hunger and thirst. After passing out, he woke up in an ambulance with a pounding head. That several-week stay in the military hospital takes up most of the story and is full of vivid characters: the generous nurse Espinas, Cascade's wounded hospital room friend and his wife, the prostitute Angel, who will make a lucrative deal with our narrator.
This story exudes a believability that makes you think it is a story about real memories, but the further the story goes, the harder it is to separate reality from fiction. Steeped in dark humor, erotic scenes and descriptions of rescuing the wounded, this novel gets under the skin carried by the vortex of Celine's raw, raw and explicit style.
