Craft Chats: Writing Literary Humor
Manage episode 405169888 series 1820282
Kathryn Ma, Cecilia Rabess, and Erik Tarloff, moderated by Michael Shapiro
They say it's easier to make people cry than to make them laugh—in this session, we'll put that theory to the test with three authors who effectively deploy humor in their recent and forthcoming novels. In this craft-focused session, we'll engage deeply with each author's writing, first doing a close reading of specific passages that exemplify their brand of humor and then learning more about how that comedic sensibility informs the totality of the work.
