«La fiesta de los locos» is the contemporary novel by Joaquín Leguina, published by Mondadori in hardcover (202 pages, in Spanish).
The novel takes its title from a painting by Brueghel and is inspired by the life of Louis-Ferdinand Destouches, better known as Céline. Several narrative voices traverse Europe immediately before World War II and portray a controversial figure due to his ideology; his possible influence has been noted on the Beat generation and on later French fiction.

For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction interested in interwar Europe and the figure of Céline.
