Bataille’s first novel: a legendary shocker that uncovers the dark side of the erotic by means of forbidden obsessive fantasies of excess and sexual extremes.<\/b><\/p>\n

A classic of pornographic literature,\u00a0Story of the Eye<\/i>\u00a0finds the parallels in Sade and Nietzsche and in the investigations of contemporary psychology; it also forecasts Bataille’s own theories of ecstasy, death and transgression which he developed in later work.<\/p>\n

“Bataille’s works \u2026 indicated the aesthetic possibilities of pornography as an art form:\u00a0Story of the Eye<\/i>\u00a0being the most accomplished artistically of all pornographic prose I’ve read.”\u2014Susan Sontag<\/b>, “Notes on ‘Camp'”<\/p>\n

“Bataille denudes himself, exposes himself, his exhibitionism aims at destroying all literature. He has a holocaust of words. Bataille speaks about man’s condition, not his nature. His tone recalls the scornful aggressiveness of the surrealist. Bataille has survived the death of God. In him, reality is conflict.”\u2014Jean Paul Sartre<\/b>,\u00a0Nausea<\/i><\/p>\n

“I found myself being absorbed in\u00a0Story of the Eye<\/i>\u00a0\u2026 the symbolism really intrigued me. \u2026 I am fascinated by the surreal erotic style of Bataille; I think he is an author I need to explore in greater details.”\u2014Michael Kito<\/b>,\u00a0Knowledge Lost<\/i><\/p>\n
