Question
A book titled for this author proposes “billingsgates” and ritual spectacles as two sources of “folk laughter.” This author’s use of the “grotesque” and “carnivalesque” modes was discussed in a book titled for this author “and his World” by Mikhail Bakhtin (“mih-khigh-IHL BACK-tin”). It’s not Jonathan Swift, but one of this author’s characters kills 260,418 men by urinating off a cathedral. A movement led by Aleister Crowley was inspired by this author’s description of a place with the sole precept “do what thou (*) wilt.” In a pentalogy of novels by this author, the Oracle of the Golden Bottle is consulted by Panurge, and the Abbey of Thélème (“thay-lem”) is founded by one of two title giants. For 10 points, name this 16th-century French author of Gargantua and Pantagruel. ■END■
