Solar Plexus Watch

Bookgasm has established a solar plexus watch, an effort to chronicle novels that refer to the network of nerves in the abdomen. It seems that just about any time somebody gets hit, they’re getting hit right in the solar plexus, knocking the wind out of ‘em. Bookgasm is listing all of the published examples that they find.

A quick scan of our submissions database reveals nine references to the solar plexus. Seven of these involve people being hit. Only one of the bunch is a poem, a significant underrepresentation for the genre. With the possible rhymes limited to nexus, Lexus, and Texas, that’s perhaps understandable.
