Jewish Comedy: A Serious History
DESCRIPTION
COPY LINK: https://pdf.bookcenterapp.com/yumpu/0393247872 Finalist for the National Jewish
Book Award A rich account of Jewish humor: its nature, its development, and its vital role
throughout history.In a major work of scholarship both erudite and very funny, Columbia professor
Jeremy Dauber traces the origins of Jewish comedy and its development from biblical times to the
age of Twitter. Organizing the product of Jews’comic imagination over continents and
centuries into what he calls the seven strands of Jewish comedy―inluding the satirical, the
witty, and the vulgar―hetraces the ways Jewish comedy has mirrored, and sometimes even
shaped, the course of Jewish history. Persecution, cultural assimilation, religious revival, diaspora,
Zionism―al of these, and more, were grist for the Jewish comic mill and
Dauber’sbook takes readers on the tour of the funny side of some very serious business.
(And vice versa.)In a work of dazzling scope, readers will encounter comic masterpieces here that
range from Talmudic rabbi jokes to medieval skits, Yiddish satires and Borscht Belt routines to
scenes from Seinfeld and Broad City, and the book of Esther to Adam
Sandler’s“Haukkah Song.”Dauber also explores the rise and fall of popular
comic archetypes such as the Jewish mother, the Jewish American Princess, and the schlemiel,
the schlimazel, and the schmuck, and the classic works of such masters of Jewish comedy as
Sholem Aleichem, Isaac Babel, Franz Kafka, the Marx Brothers, Woody Allen, Joan Rivers, Philip
Roth, Mel Brooks, Sarah Silverman, Jon Stewart, and Larry David, among many others.Jewish
comedy, as Dauber writes, is serious business. And precisely what it is, how it developed, and
how its various strands weave together and in conversation with the Jewish story:
that’sJewish Comedy.
