The Solar Anus (French: L'Anus solaire) is a short Surrealist text written by the French writer and philosopher Georges Bataille. It was written in 1927 and published in 1931.
Excerpts
The English translations are cited from Visions of Excess.
- "Thus one notes that the earth, by turning, makes animals and men have coitus, and (because the result is as much the cause as that which provokes it) that animals and men make the earth turn by having coitus."
- "It is clear that the world is purely parodic, in other words, that each thing seen is the parody of another, or is the same thing in a deceptive form."
- "But the copula of terms is no less irritating than the copulation of bodies. And when I scream I AM THE SUN an integral erection results, because the verb to be is the vehicle of amorous frenzy."
