Interested in À rebours, especially with Joris-Karl Huysmans behind it. Is there a particular edition worth finding?

Aisling, would be nice to come back to this thread once a few more people have given it a go.

À rebours is one I am weighing up. This is the sort of choice I might miss without someone putting it forward.

Ronan, same question here. A quick note on the pace would help me make up my mind.

For anyone considering À rebours: Leaving a boost while I decide. The hard bit is narrowing the list down to just one.
