London Bridge (French Literature Series)

A hilarious novel about the dark and devilish London underworld during World War I, London Bridge follows Celine's autobiographical narrator through his tumultuous relationships with London's pimps and whores, a mystical Frenchman, and the narrator's lover: the daughter of an English baronet whose fall from grace is amazingly -- suspiciously -- swift. If you've read Celine, you'll again enjoy his trademark style of brusque observations and short bursts of prose and ellipses. If you haven't, you're in for a wild and wonderful ride.
