CAA NATIONAL / SF CANADA EVENT – Ways of Understanding Humour

Ways of Understanding Humour with Ira Nayman

Join this webinar to hear Ira Nayman make the argument that humour is not, as many people think, a genre of fiction; in fact, it is an approach to writing. Listen in to explore different facets of this approach and discuss the value of humour in our lives, especially in dark personal and/or national times.

Torontonian Ira Nayman decided to devote his life to writing humour when he was eight years old, which means he has been doing it for *MUMPH FUMPH* years. I know! A lot, right? Eight of his humourous speculative fiction novels have been published by Elsewhen Press; forty of his short stories have been published in various anthologies and magazines. Les Pages aux Folles, Ira’s web site of social and political satire, has been updated with new material on a weekly basis for over twenty-two years.
