Download or read book A Comedy of Pretzels written by J.J. Boskin and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2023-08-18 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When tradition twists with popular culture and lands on “people’s oral humor,” idealistic Reuben Lamberth finds himself in a mess. He is a young, progressive, inspired scholar teaching at a prestigious northeastern university, but his other unique self has another foot planted secretly in the world of standup comedy as Josh Sandburg. His stage name is a composite of ‘joshing’ and the renowned American poet Carl Sandburg. Neither his fully tenured professor wife Byrra who is enmeshed in a cabal of women’s faculty; his tough minor gangster-hood father Solly; his staid sociology chairperson and conventional colleagues; nor his tyrannical University President Jeremiah Brittle have any idea that he performs in comedy clubs as Josh Sandburg. Should he be outed, there is considerable doubt that he will be upgraded to the coveted position of tenure, and his marriage may suffer as well. Reuben wonders, Is it worth giving up academia and taking a flyer in the world of comedy culture? The finale in this novel reveals tantalizing internecine connections that land squarely the realm of people’s oral humor.

Book Synopsis Movie-Made America by : Robert Sklar
Download or read book Movie-Made America written by Robert Sklar and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-10-31 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hailed as the definitive work upon its original publication in 1975 and now extensively revised and updated by the author, this vastly absorbing and richly illustrated book examines film as an art form, technological innovation, big business, and shaper of American values. Ever since Edison's peep shows first captivated urban audiences, film has had a revolutionary impact on American society, transforming culture from the bottom up, radically revising attitudes toward pleasure and sexuality, and at the same time, cementing the myth of the American dream. No book has measured film's impact more clearly or comprehensively than Movie-Made America. This vastly readable and richly illustrated volume examines film as art form, technological innovation, big business, and cultural bellwether. It takes in stars from Douglas Fairbanks to Sly Stallone; auteurs from D. W. Griffith to Martin Scorsese and Spike Lee; and genres from the screwball comedy of the 1930s to the "hard body" movies of the 1980s to the independents films of the 1990s. Combining panoramic sweep with detailed commentaries on hundreds of individual films, Movie-Made America is a must for any motion picture enthusiast.
Book Synopsis Structural Ambiguity in English by : Dallin D. Oaks
Download or read book Structural Ambiguity in English written by Dallin D. Oaks and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-05-27 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structural Ambiguity in English is a major new scholarly work that provides an innovative and accessible linguistic description of those features of the language that can be exploited to generate structural ambiguities. Most ambiguity scholarship is concerned with disambiguation-the process of making what is ambiguous clear. This book takes the opposite approach as it focuses on describing the features in the English language that may contribute towards the creation of structural ambiguities, which form the core of some of the best word-plays found in advertising, comedy and marketing. Oaks utilizes a systematic and comprehensive inventory approach that identifies individual elements in the language and their distinctive behaviors that can be manipulated in the deliberate creation of structural ambiguities. In doing so he also provides authentic examples to illustrate the concepts he presents. This book will appeal to researchers and academics interested in the structure of the English language, usage, pragmatics, communication, natural language processing, editing, and humor studies as well as those in marketing, advertising, or humor writing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This year is a year that will go down in history not only for the election that came up, but also for the worst disease to hit our planet and all the people residing on it in decades. We have all seen the posts and the pod-casts that have shown on commercials and news clips telling us to stay home when possible, and stay safe as often as we can. Who would have ever believed something like a virus that started in Asia back in January of 2020, would cripple us globally and continue to do so to this date and time. I thought a lot about this problem. I miss my family and friends. I know a lot of you have been feeling the same way about being inside for days on end. Feeling concerned about jobs, food, money, disasters from tornadoes, face masks and where to find them. And toilet paper and who has it. I decided to write down my experiences on these topics and see how many of you relate to them, and maybe even laugh about them now. So get ready cause we’re going to talk about it all. The drama, the comedy, and the real reason : We’re All In This Together.

Book excerpt: A hilarious collection inspired by a former Saturday Night Live writer's real experiences in Hollywood, chronicling the absurdity of fame and the humanity of failure in a world dominated by social media influencers and reality TV stars. Simon Rich is "one of the funniest writers in America" (Daily Beast) -- a humorist who draws comparisons to Douglas Adams (New York Times Book Review), James Thurber, and P.G. Wodehouse (The Guardian).

Inspired by Rich's real experiences in Hollywood, Hits and Misses chronicles all the absurdity of fame and success alongside the heartbreaking humanity of failure. From a bitter tell-all by the horse Paul Revere rode to greatness to a gushing magazine profile of everyone's favorite World War II dictator, these stories roam across time and space to skewer our obsession with making it big -- from the days of ancient Babylon to the age of TMZ.

Book excerpt: High Acolades Indeed:"It's hip, it's brave, it's laugh-out-loud funny. Wish I'd thought of it first." Jimmy Fallon's postman"If ever there was a book that made me want to eat my Kindle, it's this one. Ever heard of edible humor? No? Well, this is that." Anthony Bourdain's green grocer"Yeah, baby." Diane Rheam's manicurist What happens when a caveman goes shopping for real estate? Or a hypnotist learns the value of advertising from within? Or a famous children's television character goes speed dating? These and other pertinent questions are answered in Michelle Sandoval's first collection of humorous short stories, satire, and comedy sketches. (Warning: Don't try the sketches at home. At least not without fire retardant sweaters.) If you're looking for a funny book that will entertain and make you laugh out loud, even if you're in the dentist's waiting area, or if you need to unplug from the serious side of life, then you need this book; if not for the pure entertainment value, then for the mental health it will provide, as medicine is the best laughter. Or whatever. We think you'll agree: This Book is Funny.What critics are saying:"Ha. Ha.""LOL.""Snort. Guffaw. Chortle."About Michelle Sandoval:Michelle grew up staring out the window during math class. So, no, she's not a brilliant mathematician. But the girl can write because that's all she managed to do or to think about when she was supposed to be doing other more responsible things. Like combing her hair. Or eating. It still happens in alarming regularity, but with the help of her husband, son, and mighty mini dachshund, she's fed and cleaned up pretty well.
