The Consolations of Humor and Other Folklore Essays
The Consolations of Humor by Elliott Oring is a collection of nine essays, most of which were published between 2014 and 2021. Two of the essays are new, and two have been revised and expanded.

If You Don't Laugh You'll Cry

Distanciation and the Recontextualization of Space
In the 1990s, the city of McCall, Idaho, and the surrounding region implemented the Rural Addressing System. The system assigned a name to every street and a number to every house and erected visible signage for both.
