About the Author

Georges Bataille (1897-1962), a medievalist librarian by training, founded the College of Sociology and the secret society Acephale. He was equally famous for his contributions to French literature, art criticism, anthropology, philosophy, and theology. Bane of theologians, existentialists, and surrealists during his lifetime, he became an essential reference for the poststructuralist generation of French intellectuals, including Roland Barthes, Jean Baudrillard, Michel Foucault, and Jacques Derrida. Stuart Kendall is a writer, editor, and translator working at the intersections of modern and contemporary art and design, critical theory, poetics, and theology. Author of the critical biography Georges Bataille, he has also edited and translated five other books by Bataille, including Guilty and Inner Experience, both also published by SUNY Press.

Reviews

"Stuart Kendall [is] the most prolific and arguably the most skillful translator Georges Bataille has in the English language ... In particular, Kendall impressively demonstrates how precisely Bataille's expressions and syntax can be rendered in English without sounding stilted." - French Studies "...a remarkable book on Nietzsche ... There has been a huge amount written on Nietzsche since 1945, but Bataille's discussion remains indispensable ... Kendall's edition is comprehensive and includes a good introduction and much that would be of use to the scholar of Bataille ... Highly recommended." - CHOICE
