Review # 1 was written on 2014-07-09 00:00:00 Peter Molinaro I rarely understand Bataille. When I do, it's sometimes really beautiful but its also sometimes about buttholes

Review # 2 was written on 2007-09-22 00:00:00 Shane Sanders Bataille is a welcome relief from the dry philosophical inquiries of his era and he has a way of delivering his points with rhetorical flourish, often preferable to dry logical diagnosis. Who would have thought that one could turn excretion and expenditure into the basis of a philosophy? His attempt alone makes his essays worth reading.
