		Huysmans, an important figure in the Aesthetic and Decadent movements, exemplified a style of homosexuality at a pivotal moment in the emergence of a gay identity.
		Huysmans exemplified a style of homosexuality at a pivotal moment in the emergence of a gay identity.
		Since Huysmans was one of the first to describe or record the major impressionist painters, his Art Criticism (L'Art Moderne, 1883), particularly the section on "The Impressionist Salons of 1880, 1881, 1882," is valuable because it provides insights on such luminaries as Whistler, Degas, and Renoir.

		Huysmans' descriptions are delivered in wonderful rhythmic cadences, the adjectives used as much for the way they roll luxuriously off the mind's tongue as for their descriptive accuracy.
		Huysmans himself thought the public would have no interest in it, and to be perfectly honest, I can't for the life of me see why he wasn't absolutely correct.
		Huysmans' protagonist - the young aristocrat, Des Esseintes, scion of a decayed and ancient family right out of Edgar Alan Poe - is recognized as being a thinly disguised portrait of the author.

		The hero of the book is an aesthete, M. Folantin, with a taste for artificiality, the perverse, and the unnatural.

		In many ways this is Huysmans' most extraordinary book, and despite its immediately following Against Nature, Zola called it "his most intense work" - later André Breton celebrated it in his Anthology of Black Humour.
		His descriptions of Gothic intensity provide a total inversion of naturalism which is emphasized by the remarkable dream passages which intercut the novel.
