Just Satire
Comedy and Commentary in an Age of Chaos
Andrew Unger
Drawing on examples from 2000 years of comedy, including his own Daily Bonnet pieces, Unger explores the elements and purposes of satire, and its limitations in our current social and political climate, and argues that the greatest threat to it is not political correctness but a lack of literacy.

Once Removed
Andrew Unger
This gentle satire follows Timothy Heppner, a frustrated ghostwriter struggling to make ends meet in Edenfeld, a small Mennonite community led by a mayor bent on progress (in the form of strip malls). Torn between his loyalty to the Preservation Society and his need to make a living, Timothy finds himself in an awkward position when he is hired to write an updated version of the town’s history book.
