That was disgusting and I hated itIt was fine up to the scene in the church and then it just sank to a level of degeneracy and evil that I didn't even know Bataille was capable of This is some satanic/evil writing and I gained nothing from reading itBataille is a sick fuck
Hell yeah.
and those people have been in charge of france since 68
>>23978067Does that edition have the essay at the end where Bataille explains his use and the purpose of obscenity? Important to read to understand the work. It's in this edition.It's really quite tame and adolescent compared to De Sade or Guyotat.
>>23978134Since "the scene in the church" is basically the last in the story, I would assume yes and that's what op is kvetching about.Side note: I believe all readily available English editions of Story of the Eye are the same, the Neugroschel translation, which is of the first version (ending with a crew of 'negroes'). The only other translation, by Wainhouse, is a rare Olympia edition from the 50s, titled A Tale of Satisfied Desire, and is of Bataille later second version (this version is the readily available one in French).

>>23978134Is that the bit where he talks about the events in his life which he thinks influenced the events in the books?

>>23978067reading the plot on wikipedia singlehandedly convinced me book-burnings should happen regularly
>>23978083This, the French are disgusting
>>23978067>This is some satanic/evil writing and I gained nothing from reading itImagine reading Bataille and not expecting trangression and evil.>>23979302The book essentially came about from a therapudic exercise of fictionalizing his most traumatic memories in free association. Story of the Eye is essentially those segements loosely connected by the main characters.
>>23979411If bataille was hanging around bitches who stuck eyeballs up their pussy I don’t know why he couldn’t keep it to himself
>>23978067>I take everything at face valueC'mon my guy
>>23978067Ok, I'm sold.

>>23978067It was a very cool erotica desu
>>23979857Porn will never be art, deal with it mindgeek
>>23981256implying this book is solely read for it's erotic content.
>>23981256You sir are an idiot. Just like 120 Days of Sodom this is a political satire and a grotesque social commentary.
