TITLE: The Story of the Eye
AUTHOR: Georges Bataille
READ: October - November
THOUGHTS: Lewd! But that is to be expected. I really enjoyed reading this. I like the clarity of the prose style, still sort of obliquely moving along and jettisoning conventionally important plot-related things (perhaps the 'obscured periphery' involved in an ocular analogy would do well in relating to the way Bataille writes the story...). I like the juvenille/immature way that desire creates this umbrella over everything in life (sex, piss/shit, violence, love, fear, etc.). Think I will be buying some of his non-fiction/'philosophy' writings soon, though I am very interested in reading more of his fiction.
