Fine getting back on topic, I picked this up last night on a whim:

So far it's... well here's the marketing blurb from the back.

"In 1928, Georges Bataille published this first novel under a pseudonym, a legendary shocker that uncovers the dark side of the erotic by means of forbidden obsessive fantasies of excess and sexual extremes. A classic of pornographic literature, Story of the Eye finds 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."

I prefer his theoretical work, but that book is entertaining at least.

I've had that planned somewhere down the line based on this verse from Of montreal's The past is a grotesque animal:

I fell in love with the first cute girl that I met
Who could appreciate Georges Bataille
Standing at Swedish festival discussing "Story of the Eye"
Discussing "Story of the Eye"

Huh... I don't think I'd ever think of a band like Of Montreal mentioning that story, how interesting. I actually found out about the author from a band too, a French Black Metal band called Deathspell Omega makes some references to his work in a few of their songs. After I did a little bit of research I decided to check it out. It can't be any more grotesque then Exquisite Corpse.

On this trilogy for the second time. Three quarters of the way through this first installment.

Started this one right after reading "Pryor Convictions". That would be the autobiography of Richard Pryor. Good read.
