From Woody Allen and Kingsley Amis, Dorothy Parker and Tom Sharpe, to Keith Waterhouse and Evelyn Waugh, Alen Coren - editor of Punch and comic writer extraordinaire - here presents the pick of twentieth-century humour.Wit, iconoclasm, not a little wisdom, some acid, and much hilarity are heaped on every page as novelists, playwrights, journalists and satirical essayists take a sceptical - and sometimes indulgent - look at the world around them. Whether your own view of life is one of healthy optimism or gloomy cynicism, it will be impossible not to enjoy this engaging anthology.
