The technique of dark humor seeks to create comedy through the use of satirical wit and grotesque situations. This thematic technique can be found in Catch-22, "A Good Man Is Hard to Find," A Modest Proposal, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, and many other literary works, as examined by this new volume.
