In this book, Norman Kagan explains comic terminology, concepts, and theories, including Freud's "displaced sexual content" in Decline of the American Empires, Langer's "vitalism" in Slacker, Bergson's "anesthesia of the heart" in The Squid and the Whale, and Frye's "reversal of literary modes" in Storytelling. The reader will discover the reasons why they are laughing, new reasons to laugh, and new films that will provide new sources of laughter.
