摘要

On receiving this book to review, I was initially uninspired by the title - The Last Laugh. Nevertheless on reading the subtitle I was rapidly intrigued at the promise of an exploration into the relationship between humour, celebrity, death and the mass media in a digital age. It might appear that these are a somewhat eclectic range of topics but this is an arena ripe for critical engagement because of a lack of previous consideration. In the earliest stages of his work, Blank admits his research has an Americanist bias and that the analysis is derived and directed by American culture and his own background in folklore and American Studies. This is only too evident in the book however Blanks sheer honesty about his approach enables the work to be accepted for what it is - a focus on a particular set of issues from a particular point of view. Surprisingly this does not hugely detract from the worth of the book as his observations and ideas are easily applicable to elsewhere. During the process of reading, it is easy to make connections to case studies which are less Americanist and apply the essence of his argument to a wider context.
