I like Story of the Eye.

*****

After our Jane Eyre book discussion last night, Jzhun showed me this book. I read the first three paragraphs then decided to borrow it from him.

Once finished, I could not comprehend the Story of the Eye. Or is this really something for comprehension? The sexual deviations of the narrator, Simone, and Marcelle was very intriguing. But in the end, what was the cause or reason for such actions?

and yes, i was offended by the sacrilege done within the church.

so, what did i like? I was hooked to Bataille's writing. and the eerie composure of the narrator when he and Simone were performing their sexual acts. In a strange way, i like it. he was not detached to the deeds, but he felt normal. huh.

Story of the Eye is not for everyone. So, read at your own risk.
