Is this worth reading in English translation or is too much of it lost? What is the best translation?

I didn't finish it desu. Anyway, the best translation is the Italian one because of its resemblance to French.

it certainly influenced heller but i wouldn't say that at all. its much more bleak and less overtly comedic

celine, one of my favorites! an excellent choice anon.

while i would urge you to engage in focused studio of the french language to better appreciate the masterworks, i have many friends and acquaintances who managed to take great pleasure in celine and the other french masters in translation.

good luck, and i hope to be able to discuss it with you soon.

Are you fluent in French? If not, then you might lose more reading it in French with a poor, or basic, grasp of the language.

szczerze to ciężko mi powiedzieć, bo ktos mi podjebał tę książkę i nie mogę sobie zaglądnąć. masz na chomikuj stare tłumaczenie, chujowy skan w pdfie - po lecam
