He converted to Catholicism, then to Marxism, and was interested in psychoanalysis and mysticism. As curator of the municipal library in Orleans, he led a relatively simple life, although he became involved, usually on the fringes, with the surrealist movement. He founded the literary review Critique in 1946, which he edited until his death in 1962, and was also a founder of the review Documents, which published many of the leading surrealist writers. His writing is a mixture of poetry and philosophy, fantasy and history, and his first novel, \u003ci\u003eStory of the Eye\u003c\/i\u003e, was written under the pseudonym of Lord Auch. Bataille's other works include the novels \u003ci\u003eBlue of Noon\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMy Mother\u003c\/i\u003e, and the volumes of essays\u003ci\u003e Eroticism\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLiterature and Evil\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA psychological novel in which the emotions of the characters determine the movement of the story from beginning to end.
