| - | :"[[Chestov]] not only guided Bataille in his reading of Nietzsche, he initiated him into reading Dostoevsky. Everything suggests that this discovery was decisive. The young [[Bataille]] might be seen as '[[Dostoevskian]]'; not only because of the explicit reference he made to the great Russian novelist in the sole remaining fragment of his first book ''[[W.C.]]''; it may also be inferred by accounts from [[Métraux]], according to whom Bataille wanted to follow the maxim '[[everything is permitted]]' (echoing Dostoevsky's famous axiom '[[nothing is true]]'), and [[Leiris]]. He first persuaded Leiris to read ''[[Notes From The Underground]]''; in addition, Leiris depicts him at the time as 'frequenting [[dive]]s and the company of prostitutes like so many heroes of [[Russian literature]]'. Leiris also suggests that the hero of ''[[Notes From The Underground]]'' influenced Bataille 'by his obstinacy in being what in popular terms one calls an "impossible" man, ridiculous and odious beyond limit'. Finally, Leiris portrayed the Bataille of 1924-5 as: 'impossible' certainly, [[debauched]] beyond a doubt, and a gambler like many of the heroes of Russian literature in general and Dostoevsky's in particular. Bataille gambled - often with money, and sometimes with his life at [[Russian roulette]]²." --[[Michel Surya]] via ''[[Surreal Documents]]'' | ||
