filipmagnus 's review for:
Against Nature
by Joris-Karl Huysmans
What a fascinating experience reading this book was.
If you're a proponent of novels where, simply put, "stuff happens," this probably isn't for you. Against Nature is, instead, a novel whose every chapter puts different topics - art, perfumes, flowers, writers, and others - under a magnifying glass. Such a strange time I've had with this book- fascinating descriptions; beautiful in fact. It's philosophical, and curious, and difficult to read at times, at many times...
And as you can probably see, I'm having a tough time writing about it.
But if it was one thing, that would be fascinating.
