Description
Death on the Installment Plan is a companion volume to Louis-Ferdinand Céline's earlier novel, Journey to the End of the Night. Published in rapid succession in the middle 1930s, these two books shocked European literature and world consciousness. Céline's work is notable for its unique blend of unmitigated despair and dark comedy, creating a new style that laced invective and obscenity with unforgettable phrases. This innovative approach to fiction revolutionized the contemporary literary landscape. Under a cloud for a period, Céline's work is now acknowledged as a precursor to the "black humor" genre, a style that continues to influence writers today.
