Beautiful book,
By A Customer
This review is from: En Route (Hardcover)
Anyone who has read "La Bas" (the novel Huysmans wrote before this one) needs to read "En Route", since the former plumbs the depths of evil, and this one scales the heights of Catholic devotion. It is really the story of a soul struggling to believe, and marked the turning point in Huysmans' life as he embraced Christianity. The scene where he meditates on a large crucifix as it is reflected in the water of a pond is a masterpiece of religious introspection.
