The Story of the Eye - Georges Bataille
Bataille's first novel, published under the pseudonym 'Lord Auch', is still his most notorious work. Shocking and sacreligious, "Story of the Eye" is the fullest expression of Bataille's obsession with the closeness of sex, violence and death. In this explicit pornographic fantasy, the young male narrator and his lovers Simone and Marcelle embark on a sexual quest involving sadism, torture, orgies, madness and defilement, culminating in a final act of transgression.
Yet it is also hallucinogenic in its power, and is one of the erotic classics of the twentieth century.
