The Supermale (French: Le Surmâle) is a 1902 novel by the French writer Alfred Jarry.[1] Its irreverent and darkly humorous storyline involves elements of science fiction and features a race between a train and a team of cyclists fueled by "perpetual-motion food", and the exploits of a "supermale" capable of prodigious feats of endurance and sexual athleticism. It was Jarry's last novel.
