I just discovered Rabelais, and he has the most delightful prose style I've ever encountered. I love its exuberance and grace. Could you recommend to me some similar writers?

Céline

... that's literally it. Don't bother with other authors from his period for more of this style, it's idiosyncratic. Later imitators are many but none successful. Hugo did take some hints from him but he's much less raw.
