4.9/5 (25360 ratings)

Description:Greg is a suicidal writer and falsely accused poster boy of Me Too sexual harassment. He is talked off the ledge by Jean, a younger woman with a hatred for the massive inequality gap and a love for robbing the houses of rich white men. Her friends are comedians who show Greg that laughter and the biting social critique provided by comedy can be real powers in the fight against abject hopelessness and existential despair. Father Phil is a YouTube religious leader. He uses his platform to rail against comedians and their political dissent and their subversion of power dynamics and disrespect for notions of truth. Because of this, comedians are being killed by religious zealots empowered by Father Phil’s rhetoric. One of Jean's friends meets this fate and the fight against class and power explodes.Punchline takes a thematic cue from Albert Camus and his exploration of absurdist meaninglessness. It also explores themes of class difference, the impact of social media especially in regards to the mob like tendency toward hate speech, includes references to the Me Too movement, questions of justice in terms of morality versus rule of law, and explores comedy as a periscope to culture and perhaps meaning.There are also stories, some previously published and some not, exploring such themes as the fallacy of good intentions, the power of revenge, the meaninglessness of purposeless work, and more.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
