Michael Foley, author of the bestseller The Age of Absurdity, tries to understand why he doesn't seem to experience as much "fun" as others. With characteristic humor, he searches for the true meaning of fun, examining its heritage, its cultural significance, and the various activities we associate with it. He explores pursuits such as dancing, sex, holidays, sports, gaming, and comedy, concluding that fun is not as easy, simple, and stable as many believe, but is elusive, complex, and constantly changing. In reality, fun is a serious business. His findings will give you valuable insights and may help you understand why the postmodern is actually the pre-pre-modern, and at the very least, will make you laugh at life.
