It is composed as an explicit re-writing of \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHistoire de l'Oeil\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, the French surrealist classic by Georges Bataille, widely regarded an erotic masterpiece of the 20th Century. Here, the novelistic account similarly charts a wild, lewd and transgressive journey of two young lovers and their notable acquaintances. In doing so, it draws upon and implicates a series of texts, incidents and accidents: all revolving around the still unanswered question of the gaze; what it means to look and be looked at. Susan Sontag once wrote of the 'considerable gain in truth' to be made from attending to the literary genre of pornography. Now, nearly a hundred years on from Bataille's original story, the verve of such writing is surely never more urgent a response to contemporary utilitarian, restrictive, and homogeneous ways of living.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sunil Manghani,B.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1739766903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781739766900\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pecuchet Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.37d","brand":"Sunil Manghani","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485992759551,"sku":"9781739766900","price":10.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4f6194f4-7e78-4c18-b2b9-4400d8391abd.jpg?v=1778052952","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pornography-of-the-gaze-sunil-manghani-9781739766900","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
