I’ll push Blue of Noon on anyone and then hand them my Bataille reader afterwards if they have any questions. He’s such an interesting figure because he’s as wrong as he is right and that makes it interesting to go picking through his work for solid insights
I need to read the Story of the Eye but everyone who’s read it has told me not to (which imo means I need to read it more).
Blue of Noon is his writing on the Spanish Civil War and in that way gives a lot of insight into his thoughts on the practical applicability of leftist ideas (tho Bataille is far from an orthodox Marxist). It’s interesting if nothing else in getting his ideas of revolution, which relates back to his ideas of ‘passion,’ especially as it relates to revolutionary politics. PS it comes out very anarchist, tho I don’t know that he’s wrong that a measured revolution just produces more society. My man was just ready to peel the skin back and transcend, even if society wasn’t ready to go with him.
