Nick Land - Thirst for Anhillation: Bataille and Virulent Nihilism
Just re-read on of my favorite books from my Georges Bataille phase,
Thirst for Annihilation by Nick Land ... INCREDIBLE. He eclipses Bataille, Deleuze, and Artaud for craziest MF'er in in philosophy.
My favorite moment in the book is when Land, theorizing about castration, castrating, and castrated beings, presents the audience with an image of God consuming his own penis. Exquisite! He was fired after he wrote this book. And you can see why I hate Universities, why should be censor something provocative.. a provocation to thought should make a person feel uncomfortable!
He raises nihilism to an art form. Vastly superior to 99.9% of the shit cluttering the shelves of your local University Library.
