{"product_id":"9781926685724","title":"Me Funny","description":"Humor has always been an essential part of North American aboriginal culture. This fact remained unnoticed by most settlers, however, since non-aboriginals just didn’t get the joke. For most of written history, a stern, unyielding profile of “the Indian” dominated the popular mainstream imagination. Indians, it was believed, never laughed. But Indians themselves always knew better. As an award-winning playwright, columnist, and comedy-sketch creator, \u003cb\u003eDrew Hayden Taylor\u003c\/b\u003e has spent 15 years writing and researching aboriginal humor. For \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eMe Funny\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e, he asked a noted cast of writers from a variety of fields — including such celebrated wordsmiths as Thomas King, Allan J. Ryan, Mirjam Hirch, and Tomson Highway — to take a look at what makes aboriginal humor tick. Their hilarious, enlightening contributions playfully examine the use of humor in areas as diverse as stand-up comedy, fiction, visual art, drama, performance, poetry, traditional storytelling, and education.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"D \u0026 M Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47154314543344,"sku":"9781926685724","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781926685724_p0.jpg?v=1763635243","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781926685724","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
