Once again, it's a mix of the weird and wonderful... all coated in a very dry dusting of Kiwi humour. OPINION: I was invited to give a lecture on humour in literature. So, ladies and gentlemen, humour in literature. Even worse is the humour section of the bookshop where you'll find Your 50 Best After-Dinner Rugby Stories which are about as funny as rectal surgery. Remove the words “In many respects” and the James joke dies, because that phrase sets the reader up to expect something other than a jolting Anglo-Saxon monosyllable.
