Legacy
Castle to Castle was mentioned in the biography of Jack Kerouac, Subterranean Kerouac by Ellis Amburn (St. Martin's Press, 1998). Kerouac was at dinner with Steve Allen and Jayne Meadows at their apartment when he described Céline's work as "a portrait of existence as rotten and mad" (p. 301).
