Humorists - Paul Johnson

A curious, compact work that plays with the idea of humour through a fragmented, almost collage-like approach, bringing together writings or observations attributed to Paul Johnson. Rather than a straightforward collection of jokes, it leans into wit, satire, and the mechanics of what makes something funny, often circling around irony and subtle absurdity.

The tone shifts between dry and playful, suggesting humour as something to be examined as much as enjoyed. It feels less like a conventional comedy book and more like a small, slightly offbeat study of comedic voice, where the laughs come quietly and the emphasis sits on perspective and delivery.
