“The Gas is a revolting read, but one that certainly has merit. While not as well-crafted as Bataille’s Story of the Eye or Jean de Berg’s The Image, it’s an erotica book that goes beyond being masturbation material. It takes a sometimes funny and often harsh look at repression in society and the horror that lurks underneath institutions of religion, academia, the state, and gender roles.”
