Carnival of Life and Death by James Shelby Downer

The main extant book of James Shelby Downer's that's out there is called Carnival of Life and Death. It has been used by his enemies to say he was completely off his rocker. I wonder if in 21st century epistemology, people understand that some of the great books of our time are Genshu and Pantagrow by Raibale as satires.
