I've long been interested in the subject, and I was intriqued by the review's examples of ironical situations. I bought the book in the hope that it would provide me with a better understanding of the role of irony in the creative process and humor| |Photo by Dan Dry

Lear performs a valuable service. He shows us just how far the contemporary usage of irony diverges from an older, far more appealing meaning, according to which irony is a portal to self-knowledge.--Andrew Stark"Wall Street Journal

Vanity Fair has declared the Age of Irony over. Joan Didion has lamented that Obama s United States is an irony-free zone. Here Jonathan Lear argues that irony is one of the tools we use to live seriously, to get the hang of becoming human. It forces us to experience disruptions in our habitual ways of tuning out of life, but comes with a cost.
