/lit/ - Literature

Any good charts or reading lists for Bataille?

Is he worth reading and where should I start? (Not Story of the Eye that's gross)

check out the book My Girlfriend Comes to the City and Beats Me Up. its written in slam poem kinda vibe, no joy in description for its own sake, very unsophisticated, very short sentences, "I was raped." THe guy apparently teaches a creative writing class in harvard universtiy and reading it kinda perturbed me, seeing that this kinda approach, which basically doesnt give a fuck about literature as a realization and an awakening of imagination or as a gateway to another world, is whats in vogue right now. A lot of fun to read though especially if you're a man whos into getting beaten up by girls.


also Confessions of a Mask by Mishima (he jerks off to a painting of st sebastian

this is bataille in his 40s i think he looks great, has that ghostly kinda mysterious aura. probably would have made a great femboy.

are there any female writers that are super decadent sexually?

Can someone explain to me what are the limit experiences according to Bataille? What are the examples of them? I never read any of Bataille works.

based or cringe

You should read Bataille’s Summa Atheologica instead. It’s develops an atheistic theology influenced by the philosophies of Heraclitus, de Sade, Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud. It is comprised of the books Inner Experience, Guilty, and On Nietzsche.

Somebody explain George Bataille's mysticism to me

What does /lit/ think of Georges Bataille?

All edge or substance

Why was he so obsessed with the sun?

Haven’t read him except for a bit of the pussy-milk book, but this is what I have gotten from reading articles about him:
>weird mystical materialism that makes no sense whatsoever
>defended Stalin
>jealous of Guenon (PBUH)
>probably bipolar
>part of a cult?
>most likely a pedophile
Anything else?

What does lit think of George Bataille?

This is what French materialism does to a mfer.

Can anyone give me a good critique of Bataille and the idea of base materialism? It seems compelling so far
