This book was published a year before Huysman's Cathedral. Given how close the two men were it is hard to imagine that the Bells of Bruges did not have some influence on Huysmans as he wrote his now more famous novel.

First impressions can sometimes be misleading but after two chapters, one sees the influence of J.K. Huysmans (La-bas) and Charles de Coster (Thyl Ulenspiegel). I guess you could say that the Bells of Bruges offers decadent patriotism.
