Prickle
Prickle is finished
Despite the Satanic incidents promised here, like Huysman's other book À rebours it really is largely just hanging out with some dude and his bros and listening to their crackpot obsessions in 19th century Paris. The humor of the contrasts between the demonic bits and the ordinariness of life is deliberate and had me laughing out loud several times

Richard S Yeah you can sense Huysmans is headed towards full-blown Catholic which he does - and writes a nice work on Chartes cathedral if you want to finish everything good by him.
