Punch lines and favorite riffs, interspersed with a more academic discussion of political satire, all in about 175 pages before endnotes, make this an interesting but not overbearing choice for humor collections.

It’s hard to be funny right now. But leave it to Al Gini and Abe Singer to not only be funny, but to write about why it’s needed now more than ever.

Justin Kaufmann, Host, WBEZ (NPR in Chicago)

In times like this, we need satire to make sense of the world and fortunately we now have Gini and Singer to make sense of satire. As amusing as it is insightful, The Sanity of Satire may not make these crazy times less crazy, but at least now you know what to laugh at...and why.

Steven Gimbel, Gettysburg College

A remarkable book. It shows the pertinence of satire to actual events as much as its efficacy in politics in general.

Lydia Amir, Tufts University

The Sanity of Satire is a fun and fascinating read, and just when we needed it. I’ve known Al Gini for my entire life, which makes me think that Abraham Singer must have written MOST OF THIS BOOK. It’s just that good.

Thomas Lennon, New York Times Bestselling Author
