Comedy Book: How Comedy Conquered Culture—and the Magic That Makes It Work

This is a comprehensive chronicle of the boom and magic of comedy. It explores the genre's political legacy, the divide between highbrow and lowbrow, and how marginalized comics create spaces for their communities. This delves into the political correctness era, Will Smith's slap, the right wing's relationship with comedy, and the ability of comedy to heal personal tragedy.
