Man that's awesome. I love Bataille, Artaud, Genet and Lautréamont.
I love Bataille so much that I went to see a museum in Paris based on one piece of writing by him and I'm not someone who normally goes to museums... I don't really "get" painting as much as I'd want to, but I had to see the Gustave Moreau museum based on an essay by Bataille and it was worth it.
Genet is another obsession of mine. Reread the five early novels numerous times. The plays are not for me but I'm not a big theatre guy in general.
Bowles I'm only beginning to get into, though I've kept hearing about him for the longest time. I watched this documentary the other day:

I've always been fascinated by the Ian Homes character in Cronenberg's Naked Lunch, and turns out it's based on Bowles (and the Judy Davis character on Jane Bowles).
