Humor in Young Adult Literature : A Time to Laugh Hardback
by Walter Hogan
Part of the Studies in Young Adult Literature series
Hardback
Description
Celebrates the accomplishments of YA authors acclaimed for producing high-quality comedies, who have not yet been treated in a book-length bio-critical study.
Simultaneously, it reminds readers that no matter how funny an author of fiction may be, if he shows off his wit in ways that fail to play a natural role in advancing his narrative, he is not writing good fiction.
To demonstrate this, humorous passages are presented to illustrate the contribution a sense of humor can make to a work of fiction.
The book is arranged topically to facilitate a comparison of distinctive treatments by various authors of adolescent life events, such as sibling rivalry, bullies, and first dates.
