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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Directions","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50001461084393,"sku":"9780811216548","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0406\/5548\/7129\/files\/9780811216548.jpg?v=1769110475","url":"https:\/\/redstickreads.com\/products\/9780811216548","provider":"Red Stick Reads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
