A major work by one of France's most important authors of the
twentieth century, London Bridge is a riotous novel about the
London underworld during the First World War. Picking up where its
predecessor Guignol's Band left off, Celine's narrator recounts his
disastrous partnership with an eccentric Frenchman intent on
financing a trip to Tibet by winning a gas-mask competition; his
uneasy relationship with London's pimps and whores and their common
nemesis, Inspector Matthew of Scotland Yard; and, most scandalous
of all, his affair with a colonel's daughter. Written in Celine's
trademark style - a headlong rush of slang, brusque observation and
quirky lyricism, delivered in machine-gun bursts of prose and
ellipses - London Bridge recreates the dark days during the Great
War with sordid verisimilitude and desperate hilarity.
