Proses Dcadentes by 'Lo Trzenik' (Lo pinette, 18551902), here published in its firstever appearance English as Decadent Prose Pieces, in a fabulous translation by Brian Stableford, was one of the first volumes to advertise itself brazenly as a contribution to a nascent Decadent Movement, albeit ironically and in jestan irony and humor entirely appropriate to the spirit of the school in question.Replete with black comedy, essentially playful and provocative in its selfindulgent perversity and licentiousness, and quite similar in tone to JorisKarl Huysmans' prose vignettes, collected in Le Drageoir aux pices (1874) and Croquis parisiens (1880), which likewise came to be seen retrospectively as crucial contributions to the revitalization of the 'prose poem,' Trzenik's collection, though largely ignored by literary historians, is exemplary in its Decadence. Being at once very Parisian and distinctly splenetic, its light touch is that of the steely forefinger of an important pioneer of the findesicle Decadent Movement.
