Between Depression and Wisecracking

Ever since Sven Regener began publishing novels, he has been surprised that they are considered witty, funny, humorous, even though they actually tell sad stories about people who don't have it easy in life and for whom failure is always more likely than success.

This is why, in his new book, the author decided to explore the subject of humor. He arrives at astonishing results, examining the nature of art, emotion and humor and how they are connected.
