What is "humour"? And what makes certain types, instances, or performances of humour "Jewish"? These are among the many queries addressed by the fourteen authors whose essays are collected in this volume. Their observations, always apt and often witty, are expressed with a lightness of style and a depth of analysis that are appropriate to the many topics they cover.
