Wrong
Visions of Excess
Accursed Share
Theory of Religion
Anything but Story of the Eye
Tyler Price
Better than Food Reviews adores him, and his videos might be a helpful introduction, if you know to take it with a grain of salt (as anything in life)
Jaxon Campbell
Jerking off in a confession booth
Gabriel Gonzalez
Story of the Eye obviously
Thomas Perez
Why not with story of the eye?
Logan Price
Also, do I need to have read some other authors before getting into him?
Lincoln Green
Nietzsche, Marx, Freud
Brayden Morris
He is a better philosopher than should be represented by a cheap porno novel
Andrew Watson
Story of the eye takes you a few hours to read Accursed share can take you months. You have to be joking.
Connor Miller
It depends on whether you want the shadow or the substance, I suppose
Jeremiah Davis
The Accursed Share - at least. volume 1 alone - takes one a few days, maybe a week, to read. Of course, being theory, one doesn't burn through it as quickly as fiction, but still. That being said, I'd recommend reading "The Notion of Expenditure" (in Visions of Excess) first.
Jack Sullivan
>Marx
???
Gabriel Ortiz
More Hegel (Kojève) than Marx desu, though the latter is still an influence on his political and economic writings.
Jack Martinez
What's his appeal? I'm French, but I've never read anything from him. He seems unknown even in my country nowadays. Is it Freudo-marxian shite again?
Lincoln Sanders
Nick Land.
Dominic Brown
He popularized Nietzsche
Luke Morales
Cliff is an annoying numale, please don't subject yourself to his videos.
Elijah Hernandez
He influenced Land.
Noah Ward
You can watch the French movie "Ma Mere" based on Bataille's work of the same name. It was watchable even though it was not "good." It helped illustrate some of Bataille's concerns.
Gabriel Torres
Really just read about "Limit Experiences" and how Bataille kept a picture of a lingchi victim on his wall. That kind of says it all.
Ian Nguyen
What is so great about Land? His literature is unreadable garbage.
Kayden Morgan
Read The Sacred Conspiracy, then Visions of Excess, then Denis Hollier's book on the College de Sociologie or Zamponi's Rethinking the Political or Galleti's L'Apprenti sorcier, then his 1940s works.
Matthew Collins
No he didnt you mental midget
Jonathan Sanchez
He did for the French, after his nazi appropriation
