Book Reviews of Visions of Excess: Selected Writings, 1927-1939 (Theory and History of Literature, Vol 14)
Book Review: reductionism in a more poetic form
Summary: 5 Stars
in reponse to stevie, i'd say that andre breton has left us infinitely more to 'go on' than the far too reductionist bataille. unlike bataille, breton was not living in the shadow of his idols (bataille:sade) but trying to generate something new. bataille's assessment of nietzsche and the surrealists as romantic icaruses also seems a self assessment; bataille could never rise above his 'need to go below'. he was guilty of precisely the same things he accused the surrealists of.
