Exploring Absurdism in Literature: Books That Make You Think and Laugh by Writers Exchange E-Publishing

There is a particular kind of writer who looks at the human condition, sees its fundamental strangeness, and laughs. Not from ignorance or cruelty, but from recognition. Absurdist literature is built on this laugh: the laugh that comes when you realise the universe has no interest in your questions, will provide no answers, and yet here you are, alive and asking anyway. Far from being a philosophy of despair, absurdism is one of the more defiant and life-affirming traditions in…

Laugh Out Loud: The Funniest Moments in Classic Literature by Writers Exchange E-Publishing

There is a persistent myth about classic literature. It goes something like this: serious books are serious all the way through. Depth means solemnity.

Uncle Billy’s Chicken Hut and Salvation Emporium by Jeffrey G. Roberts

    Uncle Billy's Chicken Hut and Salvation Emporium   West of the bustling metropolis of Phoenix, along Interstate Highway 10, is the magnificent and mystical desolation of the mountains of Southwestern Arizona. It is as alien as the planet Mars, and just as foreboding. Yet, hidden away between the peaks and valleys and desert vistas, is a most incongruous edifice - part diner, part carnival atmosphere, with equal measure of whimsy, and just a smidge of nightmare. And it…
