R. R. Tolkiens The Lord of the Rings, fantasy fiction authors have used not only literary tales to build intricate secondary worlds, but also maps and lore from classic and contemporary fantasy<br />that pay increased attention to spatial levels of narrative. Acclaimed British writer Sir Terry Pratchett exhibited a critical awareness of such conscious world-making. In his Discworld series of novels, he created both a parody of fantasy akin to Tolkien and a genuine secondary world in its own right. Going beyond mere commercialized mockery to add a seemingly paradoxical twist, Pratchetts Discworld constantly reminds readers of its fictionality, providing not merely tongue-in-cheek humor but an assessment of storytelling itself.</p><p>Focusing on the dichotomies between fiction and reality, between the representation of good and evil in fantasy and beyond, Daniel Lüthis Mapping a Sense of Humor explores the intrinsic mechanisms at work in Pratchetts secondary world. Lüthis study offers new perspectives on the self-reflective nature of the Discworld novels that underline the importanceand the challenges as well as pitfallsof creative imagination.</p><p>The playful humor and humane philosophy of Terry Pratchett are here scrutinized through a variety of postmodern critical lensesbut dont let that scare you off. On the one hand, Daniel Lüthis well-deployed command of theory illuminates the significance of Pratchett and fantasy in generaland on the other, his examples from Pratchett help the reader gain a firmer grasp of theory. If you take Pratchettian parody seriously, you have some fine reading ahead of you in Mapping a Sense of Humor.<br /> Janet Brennan Croft, Editor of Mythlore: A Journal of J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S.
