This polemic against Huysmans’ conversion to Catholicism, written in the form of three entretiens, is now very difficult to find. Among other complaints, Belleville was appalled that Huysmans should have claimed to have converted without having disavowed the ’scandalous’ novels of his Naturalist and Decadent periods.
