«La fiesta de los locos» is a novel by Joaquín Leguina, published by Alfaguara in paperback (258 pages, in Spanish).
The title alludes to a painting by Brueghel and the novel is inspired by Louis-Ferdinand Destouches, known as Céline. Different narrative voices offer perspectives on this writer in Europe before the Second World War. The influence of Céline on the Beat generation and on later French narrators is also noted.
