Someone trying to out-Nietzsche Nietzsche. How? Well, Fritz was quite chaste and polite, so Bataille lards on lots of genitalia and violence. (You can get the flavour of Bataille's philosophy from Magritte's unprintable sketches, illustrations for GB's writing.) Quite ordinary French Theory, cocks aside.
