Abstract
Bataille’s literary creation opens with a surrealist look, with an exuberant plot. Storie of eye, published in 1928, is an amazing fiction that cannot be biographical. However, the author discovers afterwards how many intimate elements emerge in the text. Reread by Bataille himself, the work appears as a creation diverted from the unconscious self. He first tries to escape his personal history, breaking with the father’s name through the use of a pseudonym. But he finds, perhaps in spite of himself, personal images of an autobiographical reality: literary work becomes an involuntary catharsis.
