Reviews
"Punderful!" -Ben Schott, author of Schott''s Original Miscellany "Anyone with an interest in language is going to find this book fascinating." -David Crystal, author of How Language Works "With his compelling narrative style, Pollack unearths hard evidence that the noble pun is much more than a literary step-child or linguistic anomaly. And as a practitioner of the art and artifice of wordplay himself, John naturally dedicates a bit of spice to peppering and assaulting us with a few subtle zingers of his zone." -Gary Hallock, producer of the O.Henry Pun-Off World Championships "In The Pun Also Rises , John Pollack stirs the brain and tickles the funny bone with rewording insights into why the pun is dramatically rising in our culture, and illuminates with dazzling whiz and witdom how the pun has made us who we are today." -Richard Lederer, International Punster of the Year and author of Get Thee to a Punnery, "Punderful!" -Ben Schott, author of Schott's Original Miscellany "Anyone with an interest in language is going to find this book fascinating." -David Crystal, author of How Language Works "With his compelling narrative style, Pollack unearths hard evidence that the noble pun is much more than a literary step-child or linguistic anomaly.

Synopsis
At once entertaining and educational, this engaging book is a funny, erudite, and provocative exploration of puns, the people who make them, and this derided wordplay's remarkable impact on human history., Some people may dismiss puns as the lowest form of humor. But this attitude is a relatively recent development in the sweep of history. In The Pun Also Rises , John Pollack-a former presidential speechwriter for Bill Clinton, and winner of the world pun championship-explains how punning revolutionized language and made possible the rise of modern civilization. Integrating evidence from history, op culture, literature, comedy, science, business, and everyday life, this book will make readers reconsider everything they think they know about puns. Pollock leads readers from the pyramids of ancient Egypt to the smoky coffeehouses of Newton's London to the high-tech labs of today's top neuroscientists. Along the way, he identifies what may be humanity's first known pun, recounts the deadly punning duels of Polynesian legend, details William Shakespeare's invention of the knock-knock joke, and discovers Thomas Jefferson's lost commentary on punning in America. Weaving a playful yet authoritative narrative, Pollack also explores how the brain processes humorous wordplay and suggest why-in evolutionary terms - punsters just might end up getting the last laugh. Provocative and fun, The Pun Also Rises illuminates the powerful role that puns play in human creativity and progress, and why they will always be more than just some antics.
