38. Story of the Eye, Chapter One.
2 years ago
I’m developing Georges Bataille’s “Story of the Eye” (1928) into an operatic play. Here is Chapter One.
Linguistically, the book is kind of a dare: Bataille keeps pushing offensive images in front of the reader to make him/her squirm. By reading it aloud, I’m trying to overcome my knee-jerk squeamishness to access the deeper themes running through the material.
Warning: VERY graphic language/situations/symbology.
