    In Guignol's Band, first published in France in 1943, Céline explores the horror of a disordered world. The hero, the semi-autobiographical Ferdinand, moves through the nightmare of London's underworld during the years of World War I. In this distressing setting, he meets pimps and prostitutes, pawnbrokers and magicians, policemen and arsonists. He sees social and physiological decomposition as these processes unfold along parallel lines of development. The illusions of existence are nakedly exposed. The narrative erupts in Céline's characteristic elliptical style. His splintered sentences and scatology reflect his fury at the fragmentation of experience and at his own impotence in the face of it. Out of his rage, he forces the meaninglessness back on itself, and the exuberance of his struggle triumphs in the comic exaggeration of satire. Ultimately, his subject is not death but life, and he responds to it by a strengthened commitment to the sensual and concrete. His hallucinatory world is so vividly realized that it does, indeed, challenge the reality of the reader's more conventional world.

    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.

    S'il n'y a pas de roman sans style, si son pouvoir est de nous montrer le monde transformé par un imaginaire, et s'il acquiert une force supplémentaaire quand il parvient à saisir l'histoire de son époque, alors l' uvre romanesque de Céline (1894-1961) est une des grandes uvres de son temps, quoi qu'il ait d'autre part à reprocher à son auteur. En elle, le pouvoir du style se trouve multiplié par le choix initial d'une langue populaire qui avant lui était depuis trois siècles au ban de la littérature ; il s'y déploie un imaginaire si personnel qu'il se reconnaît dans le moindre fragment, et l'histoire la traverse si bien de part en part que les deux ensembles formés par ses huit romans ont chacun pour centre une des deux guerres qui en Europe ont marqué ce siècle. (H. G.)

    The original manuscript of Cannon-Fodder (Casse-pipe) was in part destroyed or stolen when Céline's Montmartre flat was ransacked at the time of Liberation in 1944. Céline, a presumed collaborator and in fear of his life had already fled. This surviving fragment, translated into English here for the first time, is the opening chapter of that work and tells us of the experiences of a raw recruit on the first evening of his enrolment.
