Definitely an experience. Definitely something. In essence, Story of the Eye is a semi-surrealist stream of consciousness about debauchery for debauchery's sake, circling back over and over and over again to urine and eggs and testicles and so much...SO much weird sex. I find it VERY funny that this was Bataille's first work after leaving the Catholic church.
Graphic: Death, Gore, Murder, Sexual content, Sexual violence, and Rape
Moderate: Sexism, Animal cruelty, Animal death, and Forced institutionalization
Minor: Vomit and Racism
The book is entirely about sex. Lots of urine. Several instances of rape. Two instances of fairly graphic necrophilia. Things are put into certain holes that should NOT be put into those holes
