“here’s why I take comedies
seriously: they present and celebrate the world in which we survive our own and
others’ mistakes, follies, transgressions, and deep sins. However lightly,
dimly, or bleakly, comedies revel in our survival—in the delaying of death and
the staying of the curse. Comedies tell the story of ruined folk somehow
avoiding ruin.”
