Product Description

Book Description

Divine Filth is a collection of long-overlooked erotic prose and scatological fragments rivalled only by Bataille's most well know work, Story of the Eye, for pure "pornographic" content that transcends the limits of literature and the self. These are shattered mystic visions of a seminal Surrealist with a deep thirst for negation of consciousness through ecstasy, humiliation, depravity and pain. Comprised of two parts, "Filthy" describes a descent into the scummy underworld of London's nightlife, while "Divinity" describes drinking to excess and S&M pleasure.

1.0 out of 5 stars Some things should stay lost, 26 Mar 2005
By DM Webster "arakis2002" (Norfolk) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I'm rather at a loss as to why this book was published. It comprises of two short pieces of prose- Filthy and Divinity, about the sexual relationship between the protagonist and two eponymous women. The rest of the book comprises of a collection of 'poems' and fragments. First, the poems; 'The sky goes poo-poo/ the sky goes doo-doo' being the first two lines in this section bodes ill for the rest. Where is the educated interesting author of Blue of Noon and Story of the Eye? Few of the the other poems rise above this peurility. The fragments are simply that- fragments. There is no resounding theme, no particular impression created by most of them and these make up over half of the book. As Creation books have decided to put each fragment on an individual page, and each fragment is at most three lines of (short) poetry, most of the book is empty. These should have been part of an appendix in a publication of Bataille's more interesting work. Bataille is a fascinating author who extends the barriers of fiction and taste. Havin read all of his 'scatalogical' texts I can say that I could have done without reading this book and not missed anything. I can't even say it is for fans of Bataille because most of it is so unlike his other work as to be unrecognisable. Very disappointing.
