Reviews

Hollier has not only written a series of interlocking essays which manage to roam representatively over and under the six thousand pages of Bataille, a polygraphic author of the most bewildering complexity, but be has taken the master's method to heart and has written not a book about Bataille but a book through him: he has turned Bataille on and even against Bataille. The result is a superb, even a supreme critical work. --Richard Howard, Professor of Creative Writing, University of Houston

A very valuable study of its subject. -- David Gordon Library Journal
