Editorial Reviews:

Review:

"One has a clear sense of that yearning [for simplicity and innocence] from the dexterity of the performance--Perutz does the routines with a certain exaggeration, but his affection for them is clear, and at one level there is something effective in the bizarre Gothic story he at once denies and affirms. The point of jokes, as [Freud] also figured out, is not just to be funny but also to suggest dark and uncomfortable truths. Freud's analysis of humor is no whit less sophisticated than Perutz's demonstration of it."

David R. Slavitt, New York Times Book Review, 12/25/94
