"Bataille’s entire work deals with the experience of the edge, that is living at the very limits of life, at the extreme...Bataille’s books exert a fascination that never ceases."—Bloomsbury Review"An absorbing and illuminating read for persons with a philosophical and literary turn of mind."—Small Press Book Review"One of the most original and unsettling of those thinkers who, in the wake of Sade and Nietzsche, have confronted the possibility of thought in a world that has lost its myth of transcendence."—Peter Brooks, The New York Times Book Review"(Bataille’s) writing is superlative...daringly imaginative, intended only for those awake and aware of the possibilities of excess—in literature and life. Along with Celine and Breton, Bataille writes as if he were dropping a bomb."—Detroit Free Press
