A review by trve_zach
Erotism: Death and Sensuality by Georges Bataille

I love Bataille, have been reading him for a long time. The central conceit of this book is fully explained in the first 20-30 pages, and it’s a good one. The rest of the book is him providing support for this in a series of often suspect and rambling essays. There’s still a lot to love, but it’s probably my least favorite thing I’ve read from B yet (tedium and tangents reaching new heights).
