Excellent recommendation. Ignatius is a true poster invented by the author before posting was invented.

Another similar book from 100 years earlier is A Rebours by JK Huysmans. It’s about a fail child aristocratic son who retreats from the real world into the realm of aesthetics. It’s absolutely jammed with esoteric references to the art and artists of the time, but if you can look past the references you won’t get, I guarantee that any hexbear poster will recognize the ancestors of the modern spoiled lib.
