The New York Times Book ReviewFrom a beloved comedy critic, a wisecracking, heartfelt, and overdue chronicle of comedys boomand its magic.In Comedy Book, Jesse David Foxthe countrys most definitive voice in comedy criticism and someone who, in his own words, enjoys comedy maybe more than anyone on this planettackles everything you need to know about comedy, an art form that has been under-considered throughout its history, even as it has ascended as a cultural force. Weaving together history and analysis, Fox unravels the genres political legacy through an ode to Jon Stewart, interrogates the divide between highbrow and lowbrow via Adam Sandler, and unpacks how marginalized comics create spaces for their communities.
