Stand Up Cómic

"Agudas, desternillantes, estas historias nos invitan a somarnos al México del consumismo desenfrenado y de la frivolidad transformada en arte. Recuento crítico y sarcástico de una clase social y de una forma de ver el mundo que pocos han retratado como esta autora."--Cover.

This series of joke books is dedicated to the age-old art of humor in all of its forms: corrosive, hilarious, and ridiculous. The anecdotes in them shed a humorous light on the most absurd and implausible situations in daily life. Esta colección de libros de chistes está consagrada al arte antiguo del humor en todas sus facetas: corrosivo, desternillante y descabellado. Sus anécdotas arrojan una luz humorística sobre las situaciones más disparatadas e inverosímiles de la vida cotidiana.

SPANISH EDITION. Dante Gebel has at long last returned to his first love: the humorous sketch. His fellow Argentineans have long enjoyed a series of humor booklets titled, The Christian Key (or Linchpin), which were first published by the author in the early 1990s. Now, many years later, the author returns with his pen newly charged with all of the irony, self-critical humor and promise of a book that puts on no pretense of being didactic or serious and yet somehow manages to make us think.

The Laughter of the Saints examines this rich carnivalesque tradition of parodied holy men and women and traces their influence to the anti-heroes and picaresque roots of early modern novels such as Don Quixote.
