List Of Fictional Works In Gargantua And Pantagruel
The following is a List of fictional books in Gargantua and Pantagruel. This is not a list of the five novels that make up Gargantua and Pantagruel, but rather a list of invented or imaginary books that are mentioned or discussed by characters in Gargantua and Pantagruel. Since the titles exist only within the context of the story, they are fictional.
The series of five novels, by French author François Rabelais, includes within its storyline an immense number of fictional books, many scatological and all humorous. Many of these fictional books are titled deliberately to mock the clergy, such as Antipericatamentanaparbeugedamphibricationes, or Discussions on All Manner of Subjects by Shit Monks, but an equal number are simply silly, such as And Cheese, Too.

“Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Thirty—the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.... This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.”
—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
“A complete woman is probably not a very admirable creature. She is manipulative, uses other people to get her own way, and works within whatever system she is in.”
—Anita Brookner (b. 1938)
