HUYSMANS, Joris-Karl (1848-1907). - Lot 235
HUYSMANS, Joris-Karl (1848-1907).
Set of 7 pieces: 5 L.A.S. and 2 C.A.S., addressed to the lawyer and friend of naturalists Gabriel Thyébaut (1854-1922). [Paris], 1890. 7 pp. in-8, in-12 and in-12 oblong.
Amusing and truculent conversation of Huysmans: he regularly goes to Zola's house, notably for a "digestion visit". About Alexis "whose bedonnement is getting worse and I think of the definition of Daudet: it is a fat man who always seems to come out of places and smells them". Sisters and sisters-in-law "What a sister there is in this letter! Finally, it is not literature", "I set up the batteries in tinettes for New Year's Day", Huysmans looking for a present for Zola with Thyébaut and Céard and working on Là-Bas: "I am in floods of proofs (of printing) and I am puking myself for the moment". "I have just paid myself some neuralgic series which made me see life in another light, even more special than usual. The "Gaudeamus igitur" of Renan seemed to me to have to call for the coccyx of the pîtres which sing it, powerful boots of municipal guard. But what to hope for in the early days of these infamous times". He invites Mrs. Thibaut to a dinner latrinier, the lay teachers, etc.
