The disconcerting linguistic parade that is the Tiers Livre marks the novel’s inflection toward fantasy, from deceptive blarney to exegetical contortions. Analysis of the unusual logic of François Rabelais’s narrative sheds light on heterodox aspects of Renaissance spirituality as well as on the philosophical audacity of laughter.
