Only when I Laugh
Author: Elouise M. Bell
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781560850137
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
If people can "power lunch, " how about making room in the work day for a "power nap"? If we interrupt church to give mothers flowers, shouldn't we allow time in the service on Father's Day to give men something along the lines of garden tools? In the tradition of folk humorists such as Garrison Keillor, Elouise Bell tackles timely questions in a way that both honors and critiques her own culture. Delighting readers of network magazine and the Salt Lake Tribune for years, Bell has compiled for the benefit of readers everywhere her twenty-five most memorable essays, including "Zzzzzuchini, " "Christmyths, " "What Makes Botticelli Blush?" and her most popular essay, "The Meeting, " in which gender roles are reversed in an LDS worship service. As charming and light-hearted as these are, there is a caveat: anyone who cannot visualize bishops in high heels or a Mormon Democratic caucus needs to seek razor-sharp social commentary elsewhere.

Revel with a Cause
Author: Stephen E. Kercher
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226431657
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 589
Book Description
We live in a time much like the postwar era. A time of arch political conservatism and vast social conformity. A time in which our nation’s leaders question and challenge the patriotism of those who oppose their policies. But before there was Jon Stewart, Al Franken, or Bill Maher, there were Mort Sahl, Stan Freberg, and Lenny Bruce—liberal satirists who, through their wry and scabrous comedic routines, waged war against the political ironies, contradictions, and hypocrisies of their times. Revel with a Cause is their story. Stephen Kercher here provides the first comprehensive look at the satiric humor that flourished in the United States during the 1950s and early 1960s. Focusing on an impressive range of comedy—not just standup comedians of the day but also satirical publications like MAD magazine, improvisational theater groups such asSecond City, the motion picture Dr. Strangelove, and TV shows like That Was the Week That Was—Kercher reminds us that the postwar era saw varieties of comic expression that were more challenging and nonconformist than we commonly remember. His history of these comedic luminaries shows that for a sizeable audience of educated, middle-class Americans who shared such liberal views, the period’s satire was a crucial mode of cultural dissent. For such individuals, satire was a vehicle through which concerns over the suppression of civil liberties, Cold War foreign policies, blind social conformity, and our heated racial crisis could be productively addressed. A vibrant and probing look at some of the most influential comedy of mid-twentieth-century America, Revel with a Cause belongs on the short list of essential books for anyone interested in the relationship between American politics and popular culture.
