Celine's third novel, first published in 1944 but dealing with
events taking place during the First World War, Guignol's Band
follows the narrator's meanderings through London after he has been
demobilized due to a war injury. The result is a frank,
uncompromising, yet grotesquely funny portrayal of the English
capital's seedy underworld, peopled by prostitutes, pimps and
schemers. Often considered to be Celine's funniest work, Guignol's
Band showcases its author's idiosyncratic style at its finest,
frantically blending slang, invective, onomatopoeia with literary
language, and bridging the gap between gritty realism and absurd
mysticism.
