"Satire exhibits the grotesque body, which is dominated by the primary needs ( eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, sex ), to celebrate the victory of life: the social and the corporeal are joyfully joint in something indivisible, universal and beneficial"
Why didn't I read "Gargantua and Pantagruel" in college?
Probably because I was being dragged nettlesomely through "Tom Jones," "Middlemarch," and "hamletmachine."
