Description:
This intertextual study argues that the two masters of modern French literature, Marcel Proust and Louis-Ferdinand Celine, are far from being polar opposites as a superficial knowledge of their work might indicate. By explaining their differences mainly in social terms, the book demonstrates that Celine and Proust deal in a similar way with many of the same themes and share the same vision of the world as well as the same conception of style and art. It also suggests that Proust's influence on Celine was much stronger than generally believed.
