From the supplier: Existential humor in the form of "dirty tricks," clowns, love jokes, war jokes and word play are presented and analyzed in a critical reading of Ernest Hemingway's 'A Farewell to Arms.' The argument is that jokes are used by the narrator to cope with a painful recollection and to come to terms with the absurdity of existence. Hemingway also uses it as a means to ridicule the system that perpetrates another absurdity: war. Existential humor then becomes a weapon of the displaced against institutions' alienating system.
