Céline's deranged & damaged WWII travels escaping from France (he was a nazi sympathizer) into Germany. Contrary to what one might expect, Céline writes of trying to help people as a doctor, & is, as the bk description here says, "compassionate". Maybe he was just trying to cover his ass in case he was caught. The writing technique is somewhat disjointed - mostly phrases separated by ellipses. Reminds me of Burroughs' cut-ups in its harshness & fragmentation. ( )

« - Docteur, vite !... vous devez vous douter... toute cette gare ici n'est qu'un piège... tous ces gens des trains sont à liquider... ils sont de trop... vous aussi vous êtes de trop... moi aussi... - Comment savez-vous ? - Docteur, je vous expliquerai plus tard... maintenant il faut vous attendre... vite !... ça sera fait cette nuit... - Pourquoi ? - Parce qu'ils n'ont plus de places dans les camps... et plus de nourriture... et que dehors ça se sait... »
