Divine Filth

A collection of Bataille's long-overlooked erotic prose and scatological fragments, rivalled only by his most well-known work 'Story of the Eye' for pure pornographic content that transcends the limits of literature and the self. The prose section comprises two intensely erogenous evocations of the postmodern psyche, while the poetic fragments come straight from Bataille's private notebooks. Never before has such profanity risen to the level of the sacred and sublime. Translated for the first time into English by Mark Spitzer.
