A book that I'm currently rereading and really enjoy for its style and tone is: Notes of a Dirty Old Man (1969). There's a lot to say about Charles Bukowski, but what I love most is his gritty, life-worn style, very raw and cutting in the legacy of Louis Ferdinand Celine

Journey to the End of the Night is a classic. And Mort a Credit is brutal.

Oh !!! 😍 A true connoisseur. Indeed, it's a classic, but like many classics, they are sometimes a bit forgotten. "Mort à Crédit" is truly a masterpiece in my opinion, both in terms of style and form. I'm fortunate to be French, so I can read it in its original language, which is quite enjoyable.

I am not French but I did read them both in French. 😄 IMHO there’s a straight line between Huckleberry Finn to Mort a Credit to Naked Lunch and Slaughterhouse 5.

Congrats ! French is a truly difficult language 🥵 I would be curious to learn more about the connection you make between these works! I had never thought about it, but it deserves to be explored 🥰

It’s long… Huck Finn was one of the first N American books to really use the spoken language. Celine did the same thing. Writing like you speak (at least when he was writing). Bukowski does that brilliantly too and it’s worth reading Ham on Rye and Catcher in the Rue at the same time 😭
