A pair of pissotières in Genesis
by Lord Bubblegum / Bubblegum Dada Publications #
A5, 36 pages with cardboard cover
Fans of Alfred Jarry's Ubu Roi, the work of Raymond Roussel, and the comic sketches of William Burroughs, are in for a treat. This is the creation myth retold in the style that made Jarry infamous - but arguably A pair of pissotières in Genesis pushes the scathing wit, scatological humour, and well targeted iconoclasm further than Ubi.
Subtitled as "a scatological cartoon for the mind", much of the action takes place inside a hole dug by Ovasmus to relieve his bowels. Unfortunately, he becomes stuck in the hole. Luckily for us, his arse is able to speak, more than that, his arse is also endowed with god-like abilities.
If you are easily offended by swearing, sexual references, and the deconstruction of religious absurdities, then you should probably avoid this.
