Story Of The Eye

What do YOU think the eggs and liquid were metaphors for?

I’m stumped.

Not metaphors, unconscious sexuality. Erotic associations, evil imagery.

they weren't metaphors for anything. they were unifying objects. all encompassing. the egg, the bull's testicle, the man's guaged eye, the liquid, the sky.

All encompassing of what? I feel like it’s something I feel and understand, but I can’t really put it into words. Maybe what the first guy said?

this is bataille in a nutshell. it's a feeling thats hard to put in a nutshell. read some of his nonfiction if you want a more succinct account of this feeling. try visions of excess or the impossible

Does anyone have any books similar to this one? I read it and while it was very strange I quite enjoyed it.

In my edition of the book there is an afterword by Bataille where he mentions his invalid father always smelling of piss and it leaving an impression on him.
