Frédéric Pagès, the inventor of the fictional twentieth-century philosopher Jean-Baptiste Botul, is a journalist with the satirical weekly Le Canard Enchaîné. Botul’s astonishing ideas, as reported by Pagès, have included the metaphysics of flab, the philosophical exploration of women’s breasts, and the utopia of the suitcase with wheels.
