When it comes to fiction, humor is serious business. If tragedy appeals to the emotions, wit appeals to the mind. “You have to know where the funny is,” the writer Sheila Heti says, “and if you know where the funny is, you know everything.” Humor is a bulwark against complacency and conformity, mediocrity and predictability.

對小說來說，幽默是嚴肅的事。 如果說悲劇訴諸情感，那麼機智則訴諸心靈。 “你必須知道有趣的地方，”作家希拉·赫蒂說，“如果你知道有趣的地方，你就知道了一切。” 幽默是抵禦自滿、從眾、平庸和可預測性的堡壘。

‘Bridget Jones’s Diary,’ by Helen Fielding (1996)
