Georges Bataille [1] (September 10, 1897 – July 9, 1962) was a French writer, anthropologist, archivist and philosopher, though he avoided this last term himself.

His brand of subversive surrealism is documented in Documents.

Denise Rollin-Le Gentil

On 2 October 1939, [Georges Bataille] meets Denise Rollin-Le Gentil, who is 32 and married with a young son, Jean. Surya writes, ‘She was beautiful, a beauty that would be described as melancholy if not taciturn. She spoke little or, for long periods not at all’. She joins him at his flat in October; thereafter, Bataille will spend time in her flat at 3 rue de Lille.

[In 1945, Maurice] Blanchot commences an apparently largely epistolatory affair with Denise Rollin, which will continue until her death in 1978.–Spurious and more at Google books. --Spurious [2] --WikiSysop 23:53, 8 April 2007 (CEST)
