At Saints and Sinners in New Orleans I was on a panel about humor, and I said, apropos of "Joey," if you can laugh about it, it's going to be okay, and since you can laugh about anything, anything and everything will be okay. To which I would add, if we can thus guarantee that everything will be okay, then maybe there is a God. Thus answering one of Joey's tacit questions about this world. Also at Saints and Sinners, I told a friend, after hesitating and apologizing ten times for saying something so corny, that I think in the end there are only two things in life, laughter and love. And "Joey" is about both. On the actual level and on the meta level. Of course the book also has a lot of mockery and snark. I will address that in the next post.
