Review of 'Humour : a very short introduction' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

This book intends to explain “What is humor?” while trying to prove incongruity is the reason for comic amusement, hence the humor. This is the reason it is not a suitable book for the “A Very Short Introduction” series. The writer jumps really fast to trying to prove why other theories are not true before explaining what theories really are.
