Against the Grain
註釋THE BOOK THAT DORIAN GRAY LOVED AND THAT INSPIRED OSCAR WILDE." Such is the enticing epigraph of one early translation of Huysmans' cult novel of 1884, which is also routinely called the Bible of Decadence. Accurate descriptions, both, of this bizarre masterpiece which has reverberated ever since through high and popular culture. Against Nature" (or in this version "Against The Grain") explores to the furthest limit the life of the world-rejecting aesthete living a reclusive existence devoted entirely to artificial paradises of his own devising.
