The Story
âWhat makes shit such a universal joke is that itâs an unmistakable reminder of our duality, of our soiled nature and of our will to glory. It is the ultimate lĂšse-majestĂ©â.
John Bergerâs essay begins by describing the experience of burying a yearâs worth of his householdâs excrement. What follows is an extended reflectionâat once philosophically detached and profoundly engaged with the inescapable stuff of lifeâon shit as an emblem of what it means to be human: on our simultaneous kinship with and profound difference from all other animals.
Eris Gems make available in the form of beautifully produced saddle-stitched booklets a series of outstanding short works of fiction and non-fiction.
