Rare are the books to have me as much achieved, having found the way to my heart. This novel is a masterpiece, yet I had doubts in the beginning. I was a little scared. As is often the case with conventional, we say before we begin again will roll, but then for once, there was no misrepresentation of the product! it is indeed a masterful novel. The language is extraordinary and rare subtlety even in its most vulgar aspect, portrayed the universe and the clueless characters that inhabit it, the dirty or embellish it, are of an amazing realism. The reflections, sometimes simply imaged, of great depth, cutting to the quick, free; descriptions, disturbing, as they are true, as they touch us intimately, show the man in its most bestial aspects the more petty, unhealthy, more casual but also softer, more fragile, it is sometimes seized embarrassment and pity; at other times, shame: it is recognizable badly here and there in such detail or that grin, such as frustration and lust ... And then everything is hopeless in "Journey to the End of the Night", souls are in distress, they scream 'within', almost everything is absurd, tragicomic, a complete cynicism: war, poverty, industry, love, everything is black, or gray, sometimes All the same, a few bursts of light and joy in this life is only a disgusting farce, a few moments of warmth and comfort, at a funfair in the arms of a woman around a drink or a good meal, to take; a good dose of humor and filth. And the final scene in the taxi, is terribly oppressive, almost unbearable! its conclusion, poignant, you twisted guts; a scene like a tornado that takes you without that you can not resist, until the raging elements subside, leaving you calm and silence; peace, somewhere after night. Céline completed me, I punctured the heart. I found that there was very little boring pages, not even! there is less intense than other parts say with less wash, but never boring. I find that there are lines, paragraphs, monologues, purely orgasmic intellectually, and an intoxicating fluidity! in addition, we rediscover a language rather forgotten, even despised today, that of the popular classes, the one that is also found in the Audiard cinema, French cinema of the 50s and 60. It is here in the good couillu in a dense and complex work, and that says a lot about the human race. Maybe is this that drives small arms were not supported. "Journey to the End of the Night" can be tamed if we try hard enough. If we try hard enough, you can join her at night, and that night I think, for me, timeless.
