Comic relief : Nietzsche's Gay science
"This new study of Nietzsche casts light on a neglected aspect of his scholarly personality - his sense of humor. Although Nietzsche is generally thought to be a ponderous and melancholy intellectual, Kathleen Higgens shows him to be a subtle and light-hearted writer. Her close reading of The Gay Science illustrates how the numerous literary risks taken by Nietzsche reveal humor to be central to his project."--Jacket
