It's been such a long time since I first allowed myself to be a slacker blogger and to deviate from humor study onto other academic interests and commitments. Yet the good news of Dr. Amir's book coming out this year gives me a powerful motivation to make a new blog post.

According to Dr. Amir, this book came out in Albany, NY, with the State University of New York Press (SUNY Press) on January 1 (Saturday), 2014. I haven't yet had the honor to read the work, but I suggest interested academics and enthusiasts of humor study be aware of its various forms of publication available to all potential readers.

I'm pleased to find myself writing up here again, and I'm glad to have the opportunity to congratulate Dr. Amir on her success of this work.
