“Without evil, literature
quickly becomes boring”-
Bataille. Yes, but this truth
only makes sense given
Bataille’s Catholic prehistory.
He speaks here less of radical
evil than of literary evil, which
is different from evil in real
life,
even different from evil in
poetry.
Life has a form that translates
itself into literature.
But life
is not mere badness.
Life
is the unbending
of man,
the
straightening
into truth.
Faith is what comes from probing
every margin.
Real faith.
