Tossup
In one novel, a woman nicknamed “Waterfall” says this man “pollutes” a town where a “walking advocate” and the student Dorè (“doh-RAY”) spread his philosophy. After an uplifting speech by this man, a 1935 novel ends with a poet heralding the arrival of the flush toilet. A movement led by this man inspires a boy at the Albert Mission School to break its windows and wrongly burn his cap in a prequel to The English Teacher. A village swept up by this man’s ideas is destroyed in the debut of an author who later turned to metaphysics in novels like The Serpent and the Rope. This man’s autobiography The Story of My Experiments with Truth discusses being “overwhelmed” by the treatise The Kingdom of God is Within You, which led him to found the ashram Tolstoy Farm. For 10 points, what activist’s reading of the Bhagavad Gita inspired his idea of satyāgraha ■END■
