ulrikemaria 's review for:

Erotism: Death and Sensuality by Georges Bataille
3.0

FINALLY FUCKING FINISHED IT!!! i only understood like two thirds of this and i only agreed with about half of what i understood.

i liked part one of this, and his thoughts on de sade in part two, but i disliked his thoughts on women and on sex work, and it got extremely dense and philosophical at the end and i could NOT decipher it. what the FUCK is he talking about!!!

i'll revisit this one in like ten years - or not. i do hate philosophy.

i think if bataille wants to make a point to me about death and sensuality he should bring himself back from the dead and fuck me. otherwise i'm just going to reread the story of the eye.
