A Newsletter of Humorous Writing
For November 16-22, 2017, a roundup of the week's
finest prose humor and prose humor-related news.
Hello and welcome to a Newsletter of Humorous Writing, the email propaganda arm of the acclaimed humorous readings show, An Evening of Humorous Readings. What will you discuss at your Thanksgiving table this year? Politics and current events? What you're thankful for? We'll be discussing the best outlets for short prose humor. Our table is very droll.
What We Enjoyed This Week
Thanksgiving with David Caruso by Cara Michelle Smith (The Belladonna) Some premises are so simple and so perfect that they must become humor pieces. This is one of them.

Dante's Nine Circles of Hell Reimagined for Linguistic Transgressions by John Rauschenberg (McSweeney's) The Newsletter style guide is pro-serial comma. This will not be argued, discussed, or debated.
Caring for Your New Office Woman by Meg Favreau (The New Yorker)
An Old Favorite
