Park Barnitz, un vivido decadente del fin de siècle, fuse magistralmente precisione tecnica e un'ossessione implacabile per morte, orrore e follia nel suo unico volume, Il Libro di Giada. I suoi versi, modellati su Baudelaire, divennero leggendari nel regno della poesia bizzarra. Con profondi studi in sanscrito e storia asiatica, Barnitz lasciò un segno indelebile nel mondo letterario.
