Description
Louis XXX is a collection of two hybrid texts by French novelist and philosopher Georges Bataille, presented alongside his major work, Guilty. These experimental pieces combine prose and poetry, fiction and autobiography, philosophical and theological meditations, and abstract artifice, bound together by the mysterious pseudonym at their center. Written in a style that defies conventional narrative, these texts offer a unique blend of pain and pleasure, torture and eroticism. First published in English, they provide a new perspective on Bataille's thought and its significance in the near future. The works are contextualized in a postface by the translator, placing them in biographical, historical, and critical perspective. This edition offers a definitive recognition of an obscure work in the history of transgressive literature, and its influence can be seen in authors such as Kathy Acker and William S. Burroughs.
