| Description | Fantastic creatures and beings with grotesque bodies have been used in literature across the ages to inspire, teach, amuse, haunt and terrify in boundless flights of imagination. This paper examines Maureen Duffy's Gor Saga (1981)and Hilary Mantel's The Giant, O'Brien (1998), whose titular heroes own grotesque bodies, central to the story of the novel and its social concern. |
