I have been thinking about the archival memories again and can't remember anybody, except the chief inspector recently, quoting any of the juicy passages from Bataille's novels. I think this says a lot about the repression and self-censorship on this list... I am going to have a lacanian inspired "hommelette" for breaksfast today. Looking over a book which inspired me to read Valenzuela by D. Emily Hicks called _Border Writing: The Multidimensional Text_ I find a remark where she says that; "literary criticism is always a rewriting; furthermore, it is a kind of rewriting in which the silences in the text are made to speak." So for instance she wonders what la maga in one of Cortozar's novel _Rayuela_ might say to Horacio. She may have spoken while having anal intercourse of her desires, to learn and to read. She may have said that, "the sensation recalled the erotic experience of defecating [I don't know if I will have breakfast just yet] , and then perhaps of playing with her feces as a child, keeping what she had made herself to play with and to smear, to control the way she wanted to; that if her mother had not told her where to dispose her feces, if she had been allowed to keep them instead of always fearing that they would soil her clothes, get her dirty, like... but her mother always discovered them. She might have felt ashamed to share her anus with him, such a private part of her body. She might have despised him for having anal intercourse with her, knowing that it could never result in pregnancy." (p.36) Ariosto --
