Kvetching and Shpritzing

Joseph Dorinson

Jewish humour, with its rational scepticism and cutting social criticism, permeates American popular culture. Citing examples from prominent humorists and stand-up comics, this book examines the phenomenon of Jewish humour from its biblical origins to its prevalence in the modern diaspora, revealing a mother lode of wit in language, literature, folklore, music and history.
