Style and Technique

The novel "Guignol's Band" by Louis-Ferdinand Céline is distinguished by a unique style characteristic of his work. Céline uses stream of consciousness, allowing the reader to delve deeper into the thoughts and experiences of the protagonist. The language of the work is rich with colloquial expressions, slang, and profanity, lending the text realism and vibrancy. The author actively uses ellipses and exclamation marks, creating an effect of spontaneity and emotional intensity. The structure of the novel is fragmented, reflecting the chaotic and unstable world in which the characters live. Céline masterfully conveys the atmosphere of post-war London, using vivid and detailed descriptions. Literary devices such as irony and grotesque help the author critically reflect on the social and moral norms of the time.
