Georges Bataille the pornographer
Read a few chapters from The Story of the Eye an amazing book by George Bataille last night.
Amazing because I haven't read such porn for a long long time. In fact come to think of it, I've never read anything like it.... It's absolutely gross but like most porn you're transfixed and hypnotised by graphic description of depravity...the plus side is that this book is so well written that you don't really feel offended....I wish Peter Greenaway could make a film out of this book http://http://www.egs.edu/faculty/greenaway.html
