I first became aware of the literature of Georges Bataille six or seven years ago, from a translator I knew.  As a fan of French Literature, I took to him right away (and especially enjoyed his pervy scenes.  )  Bataille's text "The Story of the Eye" can up in another thread, so I figured I would post a link to where you can read a number of his works:
