Ralph Manheim’s pitch-perfect translation captures Céline’s savage energy, and a dynamic afterword by William T. Vollmann presents a fresh, furiously alive take on this astonishing novel.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0811216543\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0811216543.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Louis-Ferdinand Céline|William T.
