Hey guys, I found first editions of Celine Journey to the End of the Night and Hemingway Farewell to Arms. Opinions on the works?

Celine had some stark views about reality coming from the madness of war, but dammit if his writing wasn't spot on! Bukowski was right to choose this man as an intellectual muse.

I love Céline, but am not that great a fan of Journey specifically.

In that one he is too much of a whiny young man, he knows what is wrong but does not know his place in relation to it. The older Céline of Castle to Castle, Fable for another time, Guignol's Band or even Death on Credit I think is much more preferable

I find Celine's style to be superb. He manages to introduce fresh concepts and new information to every paragraph, treating each section as its own entity. The result is a far reaching crescendo in each chapter.
