Founder of several journals and groups of writers, Bataille is the author of an oeuvre both abundant and diverse, published partly under a pseudonym: readings, poems, essays on innumerable subjects (on the mysticism of economy, in passing of poetry, philosophy, the arts, eroticism...). He was relatively ignored in his lifetime, but has had considerable influence after his death on authors such as Michel Foucault, Philippe Sollers[?] and Jacques Derrida, all of whom were affiliated with the Tel Quel[?] journal.
