In a flash, all that I had loved during my life rose up like a graveyard of white tombs, in a lunar, spectral light.

— Georges Bataille, Blue of Noon, transl by Harry Mathews, (2012)

Harry Mathews - Complaintes

[jacobwren]

In Naha, Okinawa, a woman sixty years old is masturbating in front of her favorite cat, a female Siamese. The look of the cat as it watches her, curled at the foot of the mat on which she lies, suggests faintly baleful indifference. It is this look which excites the woman and is responsible for the cat's presence. It suddenly yawns—she dips into orgasm like a battered shrimp dipped into sizzling oil.

Harry Mathews, Singular Pleasures
