Humorous Fiction

A disastrous dinner party, a hero with terrible timing, a family secret revealed at the worst possible moment, or a narrator who clearly should not be trusted with anything more serious than a shopping list. Humorous Fiction is for readers who like their stories witty, chaotic, sharp, absurd or just painfully accurate about how ridiculous people can be when they are trying very hard to look normal. In this category, you will find comic novels, satirical fiction, feel-good stories, dark humour, social comedy and books where the jokes come not only from punchlines, but from characters, situations and the glorious collapse of good intentions. Some titles are light and breezy, others use humour to poke at serious topics – because sometimes the best way to survive life’s nonsense is to laugh directly at it.

Humorous Fiction is ideal for readers who want clever dialogue, memorable characters and stories that make awkwardness, failure and bad decisions strangely enjoyable. These books can lift the mood, sharpen the mind and occasionally make public transport reading dangerous if you are trying not to laugh out loud.
