The Baphomet is a transgressive piece of experimental fiction authored by Pierre Klossowski. Klossowski wrote his original French novel in 1965, but it was not available in English until 1988, when a translation by Sophie Hawke and Stephen Sartorelli was published by Eridanos Press.
The Baphomet was awarded the 1965 Prix des Critiques. In protest of the award, Roger Caillois resigned from the jury, citing his disapproval of the work's organization, style, and grammar.
