Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book on the art of the essay form explores the device, its history, and its pioneers. The author, with tongue slightly in cheek, explores the role of the personal in the essay, the ways in which an essayist's personality can enhance or detract from the text. While acknowledging that… humor can be an asset to an essayist, there is a sliding scale of comicality and it is important to know your audience and the point you wish to illuminateâ"a badly delivered joke can ruin even the most well-reasoned argument. The book itself is sprinkled with examples, some intended as guides in how to execute a type of essay or element thereof, and others serving as cautionary tales. The author concludes that a sense of humor can enhance an essayist's work but that the essayist must be wary of the tone and timing of any humor employed.
