The Thirst for Annihilation: Georges Bataille and Virulent Nihilism by Nick Land

challenging dark medium-paced

3.0

It was interesting - more about Nick Land’s personal philosophical ideas at the time than about Bataille in particular. Bataille was more of the primary inspiration for all these thoughts (pretty sure he talks more about Kant than Bataille) than the specific object of them. Still interesting and sad to see Land’s potential before he became human scum (though you can certainly see the germinal seeds of this later development).
