André Delpeuch
1928.

back

An intimate portrait of Huysmans by a man who shared the author's love of walking the more disreputable parts of Paris. Huysmans based the character of Des Hermies in Là-bas on Lezinier, a doctor interested in various aspects of medicine, some more orthodox than others. He wrote a number of treatises, including one on syphilis and another on ptomaines.
