This short pamphlet looks at the fall-out of Huysmans’ attempt to set up his own review, La Comédie Humaine, which resulted in a trial for damages against his former publisher, Derveaux.

This example is one of a hundred and fifty copies printed for ’Les Amis de J.-K. Huysmans’ at Pierre Lambert’s Chez Durtal press and includes a dedication by the author. The article was originally published in Les Amis de Saint françois, no. 68 (March-May 1953).
