Reviews
" Jesse David Fox is not only very funny but also one of the most thoughtful writers about comedy working today. Comedy Book catalogs the most inventive voices in the field, but also changes the way we talk about an art form that is more diverse and exciting than ever before." --Seth Meyers "I thought I was the ultimate obsessed comedy nerd but after reading Jesse David Fox's comprehensive Comedy Book I realized there is someone out there much sicker than me." --Judd Apatow "A fascinating snapshot at a crucial moment in the fast-mutating world of comedy. Jesse David Fox has taken a loving look at where comedy stands today, and this will become a hilarious, and much-referred to, historical document when it all warps and mutates again." --Patton Oswalt "Jesse Fox's Comedy Book knocks our socks off showing how comedy not only became a major cultural force, but a form of literature unto itself, and a high art." --Jerry Saltz, author of Art is Life "A thoughtful assessment of how, for better or worse, humor ages . . . [Fox is] clearly passionate about his subject and has an encyclopedic knowledge of modern humor . . . A well-informed, appreciative assessment of the current state of comedy." -- Kirkus, " Jesse David Fox is not only very funny but also one of the most thoughtful writers about comedy working today. Comedy Book catalogs the most inventive voices in the field, but also changes the way we talk about an art form that is more diverse and exciting than ever before." --Seth Meyers "I thought I was the ultimate obsessed comedy nerd but after reading Jesse David Fox's comprehensive Comedy Book I realized there is someone out there much sicker than me." --Judd Apatow "This is a book for people who love comedy, and for people who know nothing about comedy and are curious about who is in there and how it can all work. This is a sharp, loving, well written exploration and analysis of the art form that makes us smile, helps us relate, and is perpetually mysterious. Comedy Book is excellent for many reasons, but my favorite one is that Jesse David Fox lays it all out in a way that still allows the reader to wonder. He writes about the power and mystery of comedy in a way that only adds to that very power and that very mystery." --Jenny Slate "Many people write about comedy but nobody writes about it with such passion and knowledge as Jesse David Fox. His Comedy Book is a thorough and caring ride through the world of comedy. I am honored to write a blurb for the book so hopefully he will write nice things about me for many years to come!" --Nick Kroll "Not a single person alive knows, consumes or truly loves comedy like Jesse David Fox." --Tig Notaro "A fascinating snapshot at a crucial moment in the fast-mutating world of comedy.

It's such a joyful read from someone who, for as long as I've known him, has the purest love of stand-up, sitcoms, improv, and everything else comedy related. I'm proud of Jesse and this book and it's an honor to have him tell our story and also teach me some thangs! It's a must read!" --Phoebe Robinson "A fascinating snapshot at a crucial moment in the fast-mutating world of comedy.

Then I read this juicy book and said, 'Well, hold on a second, I think the kid has a point!' And you know what? Everyone else in my cult agreed!" --Aparna Nancherla "Jesse Fox's Comedy Book knocks our socks off showing how comedy not only became a major cultural force, but a form of literature unto itself, and a high art." --Jerry Saltz, author of Art is Life "A thoughtful assessment of how, for better or worse, humor ages . . .

Synopsis
One of NPR's Best Books of 2023. A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice. Named a Most Anticipated Book by Vulture , Elle , Chicago Tribune , The Millions , and Lit Hub. " Comedy Book changes the way we talk about an art form that is more diverse and exciting than ever before." --Seth Meyers "Energetic and wise . . . Comedy Book is not the definitive history of the past three-plus decades. It's Fox's history, and better for it." -- The New York Times Book Review From a beloved comedy critic, a wisecracking, heartfelt, and overdue chronicle of comedy's boom--and its magic. In Comedy Book , Jesse David Fox--the country's most definitive voice in comedy criticism and someone who, in his own words, enjoys comedy "maybe more than anyone on this planet"--tackles 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 genre's 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. Along the way, Fox covers topics ranging from comedy in the age of political correctness and Will Smith's slap, to the right wing's relationship with comedy, to comedy's ability to heal in the wake of tragedy. With memorable cameos from Jerry Seinfeld, Dave Chappelle, John Mulaney, Ali Wong, Kate Berlant, and countless others, Comedy Book is an eye-opening education in how to engage with our most omnipresent art form, a riotous history of American pop culture, and a love letter to laughter.

- a***l (187)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Six derniers moisAchat vérifiéThe within book I purchased from Seller was exceedingly accurately described. The item was well packaged and secured in a protective cardboard box. Further it was dispatched by Seller expeditiously and delivered to me relatively quickly. Very satisfied with purchase.Would be inclined to purchase from seller again.
- v***z (26)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Six derniers moisAchat vérifiéMy item arrived in incredible condition and in nice packaging. The book I purchased was harder to track down than others, so I was happy to see that this seller had it and at an affordable price! Moreover, although shipping wasn’t free, it was super fast and arrived days the rest of my other packages! I have zero complaints and look forward buying from this seller again!
- l***f (852)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Six derniers moisAchat vérifiéFirstly, let me say that I truly appreciate the type of packaging the seller used for this book. It was sturdy and firm. If more booksellers used that type of packaging, we'd have less dog-eared and frayed softcover books. Secondly, I must give the seller a round of applause for shipping the book less than 24 hours after I bought it. A lot of booksellers wait many days before shipping their books. Overall, I'm impressed with the level of professionalism and care that this seller exuberates.
