DEATH ON THE
INSTALLMENT PLAN
Today, in the ambiguous aftermath of war,
Ct!line's epic novel of French disintegration
speaks powerfully to a new generation
unwilling to build on illusions.
Beside O!line most other modem writers
seem puny and anaemic; he writes with
the grandeur of the damned. This book is
not for squeamish people, but it will prove
a trans.cendant literary experience for those who
dare to look into the depths of the human soul.
With an introduction by Milton Hindus. $3.75
