Story of the Eye by Georges Bataille
3.0
I'd been meaning to read Story of the Eye for a while. I ended up reading the first PDF version I found on google, so I'm not sure how accurate the translation was--a lot of it seemed... not good. But I'm happy I read it. I gave it three stars because I was never bored, and some of the scenes were super interesting, like the whole Marcelle thing. That was really disturbing. The version I read included a sort of explanation of the book by Georges Bataille in which he describes how it was largely influenced by his weird relationships with both of his parents.
Also I kept picturing the young priest guy as Rickety Cricket so that was fun.
