Chemins de prose Huysmans et l’écriture déambulatoire

This article considers short prose texts by Huysmans, from the Drageoir aux épices to Certains. It returns to the conditions of possibility, historical and aesthetic, as well as the rheto-poetic modalities of the modern prose poem in order to reinstate Huysmans’s work in the perspective of writing which searches, turned towards the outside. The text begins to dream, taking a path which turns the crossing of visible appearances and the surveying of literary territories into metaphors.
