À rebours (French pronunciation: translated Against Nature or Against the Grain) (1884) is a novel by the French writer Joris-Karl Huysmans.

À rebours contains many themes that became associated with the Symbolist aesthetic. In doing so, it broke from Naturalism and became the ultimate example of decadent literature. Less
