Since we're in a 16th century frame of mind thanks to #BookWormSat, my weird picture of the day is one of Fabrizio Riccardi's illustrations for Rabelais' 'Pantagruel'. Riccardi is a contemporary Italian #surrealist.

Hence, literature collides with allegory: “William Hazlitt” becomingvirginiawoolf.wordpress.com/2025/07/02/h...
Illustration of a giant bay, chained to a gigantic cot, slurping up all the food he can from a long table, the much smaller couriers fleeing from him. At the far end his equally gigantic father, dressed rather like Henry VII, is laughing mightily.
You wouldn't want to invite Pantagruel to an-all-you-can-eat buffet, would you? Or Gargantua for that matter. Scan from my 1933 copy of 'The Works Of Rabelais' illustrated by Frank C Pape.

I am reading #Rabelais today. I read passages aloud. It is very fattening, the decadence of his prose stuffed with clotted verbs and carb-heavy nouns. Adjectives melt in my mouth like honey from a wild beehive.
I am a dog with a bone, #diligently getting to the #marrow.

Predictably, my favorite item in the Imaginary Books show at the

Bravo à nos collègues du @cepremap.bsky.social qui découvre dans l'archéologie du discours parlementaire une tendance #tiktok, dans la même veine, l'indigence d'un rapport parlementaire www.assemblee-nationale.fr/dyn/17/organ...
