I heard it was considered as (one of) the greatest book from the 20th century in academic reviews.

I'm loosing something by reading it in English. :(

celine - journey to the end of the night

was a huge influence on kerouac and is one of the best and funniest novels ever though it's very nihilistic and cynical
it's 'on the road' without proto-hippie pretense, just a freewheeling fucked up picaresque and celine's dark sense of humor and powers of observation are unrivaled

Just read this and The Loser.
And tomorrow is Valentines Day.
Recommend me some misanthropy novels with undertones of idealism and love.

Authors you're slightly embarrassed to enjoy thread.

Why did you have to be anti-Semitic, my misanthropic brother?
