Georges Bataille Discusses 'Literature and Evil' on French Television
Bataille discusses L&E on a May 21, 1958 French TV show, "Lectures Pour Tous" with Pierre Dumayet... this not all that well-known work is one of Bataille's best and offers unique, powerful and moving reactions to Emily Bronte, de Sade, Proust, Kafka, and others... the essay on Bronte's 'Wuthering Heights' is among the finest on this still intense, unapologetic novel of harrowingly dark romantic love...
Bataille deems WH as a supreme example of "ecstatic... hypermorality... (with a) transgression of the moral law... the law of reason.""
