Mirth Of A Nation The Best Contemporary Humor Michael J Rosen Editor by Michael J. Rosen (editor) 9780062038036, 0062038036 instant download after payment.

First published February 2nd 2000

A salvo of hilarity from that loose canon of American humor that Mirth of a Nation editor Michael J. Rosen has culled from some 1200 pages of brilliantly original works by our best contemporary humorists. This action-packed compilation of highlights includes Bobbie Ann Mason's stint at the La Bamba hotline, David Rakoff's insights on families, Andy Borowitz's memoir of Emily Dickinson (basically, she was a drunken jerk), & Michael Feldman's helpful (re)locating of the Midwest. 

Seriously Funny Writing By Today's Most Celebrated Authors 

At last, a premier showcase of fifty-four great literary humorists & masters of the journalistic jab, the social spoof, the parodic proof, the satire, the tirade, & the send-up. Here are those "last laughs" & "wit's end" pieces everyone turns to first but then loses in back issues of favorite magazines & newspapers, including:

Merrill Markoeon Networking with angels
Garry Trudeau on re-retranslating Madonna
David Sedaris on reviewing school Christmas Plays
John Updike on cross-dressing with J. Edgar Hoover

Also included are riotous contributions from Henry Alford, Jon Stewart, & David Ives, as well as millennial maxims by Mark O'Donnell, gardening advice by Mertensia Corydalis, & highlights from Randy Cohen's savvy "News Quiz."

The editor, Michael J. Rosen (born 1967, Cedar Rapids, raised Presbyterian, no fan of asparagus or cod, married 1992, two children, one kind & one homely, both loud, with big, red tongues), would like to make a small point with regard to his name. Specifically, he would like to insist that his name be spelled, from here on out, in all cases & all contexts, in ALL CAPS. As it is on the cover, it shall be in all other instances: newspaper articles, profiles in magazines thick & odorous, Christmas gift lists, notes scrawled on envelopes. Why? Because the editor is overly tired of all
