Jarry's Supermale is an hyperbolic monster of masculinity, riding 10000 miles on a bicycle at the speed of a locomotive to proclaim his desire for a certain woman, with which woman he proceeds, in order to prove a point, to copulate a total of 82 times in 24 hours.
One often takes French proto-surrealist literature with a grain (or spoonful) of salt, perhaps due to the hollow stigma which Breton and others rendered the word 'surrealism.' This novel by the maniac Jarry was a helpful reminder that he and Apollinaire and a few others were really getting at something compelling.

An example of inversion occurs in a Duchamp note treating an image from a pivotal scene in Jarry's science fiction novel, The Supermale.
In The Supermale, the American Ellen Elson, as eager in her clean-cut way as the notorious Roman Empress, says towards the end of a non-stop around the clock sexual marathon, "I'm not naked enough.
The Love Machine, title of the final chapter of The Supermale, again calls to mind Duchamp's concept of a mechanical bride and bachelors and their "love gasoline." Messalina and Ellen could be called, in common parlance, sex-machines; Duchamp's Bride is literally that.
