Upon the Pun: Dual Meanings in Words and Pictures

by Hammond, Paul
No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781915580290

This delectable and provocative work is a medley of the clerkly and the earthy. On the one hand a crisp analysis of verbal and visual ambiguities, on the other an extremely entertaining anthology of frightful jokes. Ultimately, as Hammond and Hughes observe, the puns that free language free us. It's a demonstration of the remarkable human capacity for creative, abstract association. This study is subtle, quirky, subversive, and a remarkably punny read.

The Atheist's Guide to Christmas is a funny, thoughtful handbook all about enjoying Christmas, from 42 of the world's most entertaining atheists.
