Amid the variety of human experiences, the comic occupies a distinctive place. It is simultaneously ubiquitous, relative, and fragile. In this book, Peter L. Berger reflects on the nature of the comic and its relationship to other human experiences. Originally published in 1997, the second edition includes a new preface reflecting on Berger s work in the intervening years, particularly on the relationship between humor and modernity."
I pity the author: my Jewish family told better jokes. It has a lot of charm and the characters are nicely 'fleshed' out. Fantastic!. Due to the style of writing used, it is a little hard to absorb. I liked that it gave actual recipes, measurements for different blends. The romance and timeline of it weaken this story. Mike was a troubled man but also brilliant and courageous. If one were limited to reading just one book on exploring how and why the comic dimension of human existence functions, this should be the choice. and let the new way of thinking become your way of life.
I have been using this book for myself and my clients since the early 1980's, and I know that what Paul Hauck tells us has worked for both myself and the clients that I have recommended the book too.
