Uncover the surprising relationship between confinement and literary humour in 20th-century literature. This compelling analysis explores how cells, masks, and bodies—sites of imprisonment—become unexpected incubators for literary wit. Delving into key works by Romain Gary and Vladimir Nabokov, the study reconfigures confinement as a fundamental condition for humour’s emergence in fiction and theory. An essential read for literary scholars, students of cultural studies, and enthusiasts of modernist and 20th-century literary analysis seeking deeper insights into the mechanics of humour and confinement.
