There is a feeling in the air of our era. People are yearning to laugh again. Those who appreciate good humor, however, know that something is amiss. There is no way around it: wit nowadays is in a bad way. Fine wit longs to be written again, but most writers have no idea how to render something witty or humorous upon the page. They often assume that such instances are left up to serendipity or chance. Luckily, they are wrong. By analyzing the elements of wit employed by such eminent humorists as Evelyn Waugh, Mark Twain, and P.G. Wodehouse, The Ways to Wit nourishes one’s comedic sense, deepens one’s sense of irony, and ultimately teaches one what it takes to write excellent, humorous wit.
