Talk:Story of the Eye

Synopsis
As I'm about to purchase a copy of the Penguin Classics 2001 edition of this book, I will be in a position to write a synopsis for it. Clearly, Bataille's other translated fiction needs similar treatment.

Having just finished the .pdf version offered at the site recommended at the bottom of this page I have to say that either the synopsis is just plain wrong or the translations vary substantially, and I'm not sure which it is but if it is the former something should probably be done by someone who is an arbiter of wikipedia Benladen (talk) 07:54, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Year
When was this book first published? I also think it would be interesting to include the title in other languages than English and French (as many as possible) for further reference. 80.216.43.215 21:03, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Additional reference
Unsure of how to format for Wikipedia, so I would like to add that Story of the Eye was notably referenced through CJ Leede's Maeve Fly. 2600:1700:96E0:9C30:B514:9ADC:A294:A0F6 (talk) 03:44, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
