*Filmfax Magazine*
As the author or editor of more than sixty books on the history of
popular entertainment, A. Slide is at ease for dividing comedy in a
variety of subgenres...
*International Theatre Informations*
Given the nature of the book, reading it is a hop-skip-jump
eccentric experience...I hope people will take a look at this one
which offers many valuable insights.
*Communication Booknotes Quarterly*
