The Material / Camille Bordas. - London : Serpent's Tail, 2024. - [6], 340 stron ; 23 cm.
Ksiażka w języku angielskim. Can comedy be taught? Someone, at some point, seemed to think so. The Chicago Stand-Up program has enrolled young comedians for nearly a decade. Artie may be too handsome for standup, Olivia too reluctant to examine her own life, and Phil too afraid to cause harm. Kruger may be too vanilla to command his students’ respect, Ashbee too detached. And then we have Dorothy - the only woman on the program’s faculty - who though preparing to launch a comeback tour can’t tell if she’s too abiding, too ambitious, or too ambivalent. Riffing keenly across a diverse array of precision-cut perspectives, The Material examines life through the eyes of a reluctantly assembled ensemble, a band of outsiders bound together by the need to laugh, and the longing to make others laugh even harder.
