Synopsis

'One of the most important writers of the century' - Michel Foucault BLUE OF NOON is one of the most ferocious, menacing novels ever written and retains all its shocking power today. Against the backdrop of Fascist Europe the novel's narrator hastens despairingly from city to city in a sexual and mental nightmare - his internal collapse mirroring the fighting and marching on the streets outside. Confronting fascism, BLUE OF NOON is torn between identifying with history's victims and being seduced by the glamour of its terrible victors. Recently voted one of the hundred greatest novels of the century, BLUE OF NOON confirms Bataille as one of the least likeable but most compelling of all French writers.
