Traduire Rabelais tous azimuts Le cas de L’Atelier du roman

Since its first issues, L’Atelier du Roman has claimed a Rabelaisian lineage, wanting to perpetuate in French letters the spirit that drives Gargantua-Pantagruel. The review takes up an idea of Kundera: there is allegedly in Rabelaisian irony a “wisdom in uncertainty” peculiar to the art of the novel, an art which also establishes an aesthetic revolution whose premises are to be found in the work of Rabelais.
