A review by jrrose
Story of the Eye by Georges Bataille

3.0

Disturbing. Interesting read from a philosophical and artistic point of view but none the less... Not my cup of tea in terms of the graphic nature. I enjoyed the surreal aspects of it and the symbolism was bizarre but profound. I found myself deeply unsettled but also quite fascinated by the style and execution of the writing. Weird book. Shocking read for a book written in the 20s but then again, this was the peak of surreal writing and this definitely fit into that. I'm left dazed and confused... but mainly horrified.
