Voyage Au Bout De La Nuit Playlist
This playlist follows Bardamu from the mud and terror of war through colonial Africa and the alienating bustle of America and Paris. French chansons, anti-war songs, and spare instrumental pieces reflect Céline’s bitter humor and misanthropy, while quieter tracks leave room for the novel’s brief, uneasy flashes of compassion.
