This page really needs some work. Huysmans' Légion d'honneur was awarded for his work as a civil servant not for being a war hero.
The 3/29/04 rewriting of this article is an attempt provide a somewhat fuller description of Huysmans. More can be done.
I'm gradually trying to expand this page, but it might be a slow process.-- Folantin 18:39, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
I removed the LGBT Project template. Huysmans was heterosexual, though the main character in one of his books, A rebours, was bisexual. Can you clarify why this was added here? Thanks. -- Folantin 08:52, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
There is no explanation. It HAS to be removed. By the way, thanks a lot for expanding the article. Anchorite 18:02, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
The LGBT Project Template would be applied by a person who does not understand what Huysmans was doing. Huysmans was not lauding and touting the behavior that he described in his book. He deplored such behavior. Look at the photographs of him. He was a Christian ascetic and pessimist who felt disgust with shallow, superficial, uncompassionate people who engage in self-indulgent pleasure.

Please don't add an infobox to this article. They are not "standard" and there is no Wikipedia policy saying we must have them. The box I removed needlessly repeated the dates of birth and death given in the very first sentence as well as giving undue prominence to Huysmans' real first names, which he only used to sign civil service documents rather than his novels. What's the point? -- Folantin 07:25, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
Whatever, I'll make sure not to edit an article Folantin owns. Atropos 19:44, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
By the way, judging from your discussion when you called in the cavalry, you seem to be under some misimpression that I am a member of WP:Biography or some pro-Infobox zealot. Having seen an infobox on the vast majority of biographies I had read, and noticing that this one was missing one, I added it. I am not in any way associated with any other party, I just wanted to improve the article. Atropos 19:54, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
I've just seen the biographical infobox for this article and frankly it looks pretty silly with its two French flags. Would it be better to delete the box keeping the picture. Thanks. -- Klein zach 03:14, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
It is ironic that Huysmans wanted to depict the vileness of the world and, in so doing, he earned the applause of vile people. By convincingly depicting disgusting behavior, he was lauded by people who engaged in such behavior. They thought that Huysmans was celebrating them, when, in actuality, he was using them as examples of the world that he deplored. Huysmans sought refuge in religion, especially in monasteries. This was in accordance with the Fourth Book of Schopenhauer's main work, which he praised. Lestrade ( talk) 18:49, 16 October 2009 (UTC)Lestrade
The more I read about Huysmans, the more I am struck by the influence of Schopenhauer on his life. Anyone who has read Schopenhauer's work should immediately understand the influence. I have just read that Huysmans stated, "Art is the only clean thing on earth, except holiness." This is a direct restatement of Schopenhauer's doctrine that art and saintliness are the two ways that humans can achieve salvation and deliverance from the evil and pain of the world. If this is combined with Huysmans's religious conversion and his attempts to become a monkish hermit, then the influence becomes very apparent. Schopenhauer extolled religious ascetics, such as the Benedictine Trappists. Huysmans's behavior is very similar to that of Tolstoy in this respect.

His early death from oral cancer was most likely the result of smoking tobacco. Lestrade ( talk) 17:50, 29 January 2012 (UTC)Lestrade
Is it possible to have names of his works translated into English? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.87.205.118 ( talk) 21:15, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
