Funny Satire

In 1988, a band of University of Wisconsin-Madison undergrads set out to publish a free weekly newspaper with no editorial stance other than “You Are Dumb,” and—over the course of twenty years—changed the way we consume both our comedy and our news. The Onion served as a hilarious and brutally perceptive satire of the absurdity and horrors of late twentieth century American life and grew into a global phenomenon. Now, for the first time, the full history of the publication is told by one of its original staffers, author and historian Christine Wenc.

Are you a fan of satire? If so, tears of laughter will stream down your legs as you read this book. But please, do not let this book get into the hands of any children. This is the worst children's book ever written. It breaks all the rules of good children's literature: it contains incredibly lengthy and complex words, like "prophylactic" and "radioactive decay"; it deals with disturbing themes, like osteoporosis and lung cancer; and it does not have a happy ending. This children's book has absolutely no place in the life of any child (or adult, for that matter). If you find pleasure from ...

This is an annotated edition with an additional biography section and an original prelude by J.J. Calvert.

He was also a professor of political science at McGill University for almost three decades--but he is better remembered as a world famous humorist who could make men and women bend at the waist with laughter whilst reading his nonsensical literature. His Secrets To Success is satirical response to the ubiquitous ...

Evelyn Waugh's 1934 novel is a bitingly funny vision of aristocratic decadence in England between the wars. It tells the story of Tony Last, who, to the irritation of his wife, is inordinately obsessed with his Victorian Gothic country house and life. When Lady Brenda Last embarks on an affair with the worthless John Beaver out of boredom with her husband, she sets in motion a sequence of tragicomic disasters that reveal Waugh at his most scathing.
