Satire books
Satire exaggerates something real until you can see it clearly. It might be wealth, publishing, politics, family obligation or the economics of slaying monsters. The books on this shelf use invented situations to poke at familiar institutions, and many of them work across genres from fantasy to literary fiction.

How we choose booksFinding your way around this shelf
Satire varies a lot in temperature. Some books keep the tone light and the target broad. Others are sharp, political or deliberately uncomfortable. Each profile explains what the book is aiming at and, where the sources support it, what you should know about its politics or content before you buy.
Humor is personal. Our labels describe supported traits, not a promise that every reader will find the same things funny. How we classify books.
