From epigrams and name calling to sophisticated proverbs, fables and taunt-songs, Weisman provides a nuanced introduction to this multifaceted and fascinating subject. The author spends equal time looking at the historical (political) and literary (satirical) aspects of the subject, well aware that context matters and that sometimes "you have to be there" to get the joke. An excellent contribution to the emerging interest in biblical humor.
