Voyage au bout de la nuit
Dustan's writing has been compared to Renaud Camus, Marguerite Duras, Hervé Guibert, Celine's "Journey to the End of the Night", Eugene O'Neill's "Long Day's Journey into Night", and Bret Easton Ellis. Critic Bruce Hainley writes that Dustan celebrated Duras for her liberating sense of abjection and "alcoholizations of the first person," including her “bad French, her badly written books of the ’eighties and ’nineties.”
