This short pamphet, which was produced in a relatively small edition, is now quite difficult to find, perhaps due to its appearance at the start of the 1914 war. The text forms the basis of the chapter « J.-K. Huysmans converti littéraire » which appeared in the two authors' later book Le Groupe de Médan (1920).
This example includes a portrait of Huysmans by Octave Veret and is signed by Léon Deffoux on behalf of the two authors.
