^{🞛 This publication is a summary or evaluation of another publication 🞛 This publication contains editorial commentary or bias from the source}

NPR's Juana Summers talks with Damon Young about That's How They Get You, his new humor anthology featuring essays by Black writers.

Damon Young's new essay collection, as discussed in the NPR article from June 4, 2025, delves into the essence of humor, exploring what makes it effective and meaningful. Young, a noted humorist and cultural critic, argues that the best kind of humor is not only about making people laugh but also about fostering connection and understanding across diverse experiences. He emphasizes the importance of humor that is rooted in truth and empathy, often drawing from his own life to illustrate how comedy can serve as a tool for social commentary and personal reflection. The collection also touches on the challenges of navigating humor in a politically charged environment, advocating for a balance between levity and seriousness to address complex issues.
