Those two are my favorite authors, but sadly I’ve read all their work and neither are making any more.

I absolutely love that style of writing and I’d love to know if there’s more like them!

    I don’t know you, but I love you already 💖

    Neil Gaiman - More on the Fantasy side than irony. His works are still a pleasure. And ofk his collaboration with Terry “Good Omen”. Also check “American Gods” and “Anansi Boys”.

    Kurt Vonnegut - Not what you would call “Fun and laugh” works, but his stories are crazy, well written and full of irony and smart social critics.

      Kurt Vonnegut’s Cat’s Craddle is a wonderfully satirical novel.

      American Gods is very good as well, I did not try the other books by Neil Gaimlan you mention but will definitely give them a try, thanks for the recommendation.

      Good Omens was like my favourite cake spiced with bits of oh-so-ironic-and-absurd British humour.
