Much more than Tolstoy, Parallel Stories should be compared to Rabelais. Yes, I am referring to the 16th-century French writer and occasional monk who penned that delightful tale of the misadventures of two giants, Gargantua and Pantagruel. It was Rabelais, after all, who insisted that the body is its own kingdom. A fart can rule the world. What the body wants, it gets. For Rabelais, all the important things that men do in the public sphere?like politics?are just ways to pass time when we're not serving our basic needs; namely, the desire to eat and shit and piss and fuck.
