What becomes of ecstasy, rapture, ascension, transcendence, grace when these give way to “space oddity”: man enclosed in a tin can floating far above the world? Is the cosmonaut a prophet of the erotic future, avatar of man’s stellar renaissance, as Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke once imagined?

Biografi[redigera | redigera wikitext] Joris-Karl Huysmans (dessa förnamn tog han sig; de ursprungliga var Charles Marie Georges) härstammade från en holländsk konstnärssläkt, vars mest berömde medlem var Cornelis Huysmans. Huysmans debuterade 1874 med en liten samling prosapoem, Le drageoir aux épices, i Baudelaires och Aloysius Bertrands stil. Först med romanen À rebours (1884) (i svensk översättning Mot strömmen 1946 och 2004) väckte Huysmans större uppmärksamhet. Huysmans var även en framstående, fast något ensidig konstkritiker och bland de första som trädde i bräschen för de moderna friluftsmålarna och impressionisterna.
