This is a 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die book
From back cover:
In 1928, Georges Batialle published under a pseudonym this first novel, a legendary shocker that uncovers the dark side of the erotic by means of forbidden, obsessive fantasies of excess and sexual extreme. A classic of pornographic literature, Story of the Eye finds parallels in Sade and Nietzsche and in the investigations of contemporary pyschology; it also forecasts Bataille's own theories of ecstasy, death and transgression which he developed in later works.
