Funny contemporary & literary books

Family loyalties, office politics and the need to look respectable give comic fiction plenty to work with. This shelf brings together stories grounded in recognizable social life, where a character's habits or blind spots can be as revealing as a spectacular mistake.

Finding your way around this shelf

Choose by the kind of company you want to keep: quarrelsome relatives, ambitious colleagues or people trying to explain themselves. Check the profile for the comic target and tone. A sharp social satire can feel very different from an affectionate character study.

Humor is personal. Our labels describe supported traits, not a promise that every reader will find the same things funny. How we classify books.
