Autograph note, 1 p. in-4. Folds, one corner consolidated with adhesive tape. Number "5" written in pink pen in the centre of the page. Notes written three times with different pens.
Notes thrown on the paper by Louis-Ferdinand Céline, evoking Journey to the End of the Night. "I don't do macabre, I don't take pleasure in death... Lili? It was the Journey that damned me and I would have been called Ferdinansky... My supporters are amused to see how well I can hold a dagger through and through... the other string to my bow! no car! the Professor - the deliveries to Menton lace up the people we see... the arguments".
The phrase "C'est le Voyage qui m'a fait damner" was repeated in D'Un château l'autre.
