Ever wondered who makes a very funny person laugh? Wonder no more. Brought together in this Library of America collection are America's fifty funniest writers-according to acclaimed writer and comedian Andy Borowitz. Reaching back to Mark Twain and forward to contemporary masters such as David Sedaris, Nora Ephron, Roy Blount Jr., Ian Frazier, Bernie Mac, Wanda Sykes, and George Saunders, "The 50 Funniest American Writers*" is an exclusive Who's Who of the very best American comic writing. Here are Thurber and Perelman, Lenny Bruce and Bruce Jay Friedman, Garrison Keillor, Dave Barry, and Veronica Geng, plus hilarious lesser-known pieces from "The New Yorker," "Esquire," "The Atlantic," "National Lampoon," and "The Onion." Who does "one of the funniest people in America" ("CBS Sunday Morning") read when he needs a laugh?

很多get不到笑點 也有讓我笑到人仰馬翻的 ps我真的不能再到處瞎看瞭 必須即刻開始復習考試
評分終於乾掉你瞭!雖然笑瞭很多但感覺美國幽默還是撓癢癢式的。Dave Barry好好笑
評分"相比起Comedy Writing Secrets對幽默本身進行解構的方式,這本書則是由《紐約客》幽默專欄的專欄作傢Andy Borowitz直接為讀者選取瞭50篇英文幽默短文中的經典之作。文章內容跨度涵蓋馬剋·吐溫到如今的《洋蔥報》。 我剛開始隻能看懂馬剋·吐溫和伍迪·艾倫的笑點,伍迪艾倫可能還是因為他的電影看多瞭有一定瞭解,剩下的很多都看不懂。隨著閱讀量增大,慢慢就能體會到這些文章笑點何在,是個很有意思的學習過程。"
