Laure: The Collected Writings Peignot
This complete collection of writings published for the first time in English includes Story of a Little Girl, about the Catholic priest who sexually molested her sister; The Sacred, a collection of poems and fragments on mysticism and eroticism; notes on her association with contr-attaque and acephale, and her involvement with the Spanish civil war and the early years of the Soviet Union; a compendium of correspondence with her beloved sister-in-law and tortured love letters to Bataille; and an essay by Bataille about Laure's death of tuberculosis at the age of thirty-five. 'I drank, I bathed in her radiant purity' Jean Bernier says. "People describe Laure as pure, dissolute, dark, luminous.
It is tempting to romanticize Laure - in Leiris writes about her lyrically in fourbis and fr le bruit as 'the saint of the chasm.' Bataille calls her uncompromising, pure, and sovereign.
