Celine: Journey to the End of the Night (Landmarks of World Literature)

I thought this would include the entire novel and some essays, like a Norton edition. It is a small book with just a few essays, which are OK but not fantastic.

Livre reçu rapidement et en bon état. Livre majeur de la littérature moderne, ici en version anglaise, que devraient apprécier tous les amateurs de littérature

Sturrock is a very good translator, witness his versions of Stendhal's BRULARD and Hugo's NOTRE DAME DE PARIS. so he's more than qualified to write a critical commentary on VOYAGE.My question is: why write one? I think the existing biographies of Vitoux and McCarthy provide all the background a serious reader needs to make sense of Celine's ouevre, including VOYAGE. It's one of those books that "interprets" itself.I don't want to say Sturrock's book is superfluous, but a reader of VOYAGE would do better to read Celine's next novel, MORT A CREDIT, and one of the aforementioned biographies to understand why Dr. Destouches was attempting.

Don't be stupid like me. This isn't the actual book it's just a book about the book.
