How do I get into the work of Louis-Ferdinand Céline? Should I start with Journey or Death on the Installment Plan? Which one is more comfy?

Death on the Installment Plan is my favorite. Love the atmosphere, hilarious but also fairly depressing.

Many consider it his best novel. It's also the prequel to Journey despite being written after.

Journey
and>>12741932 is correct. complete opposite of comfy

Journey is honestly the most overrated book I've ever read. Some good lines buried within mounds of boring drivel.

Just read the quotes page on goodreads and you've basically got everything of value already.

read him chronologically, each book builds upon the last
