Reinhold Grimm

Grimm and Hermand's Laughter Unlimited is a collection of scholarly and philosophical essays about various pieces of German humor and satire. It is about humor, but not very humorous on its own. It helps if you already have a basic background in the texts being discussed, but that is not mandatory. The only one I found particularly chuckle-worthy was the essay on Yiddish humor. Other than that, it's your basic literary analysis. It does, however, function as a reading list if you're looking show more to broaden your horizons on the matter. Overall, don't approach this one if you don't have to. show less
