The Satirist: His Temperament, Motivation, And Influence by Leonard Feinberg is a comprehensive exploration of the world of satire. The book delves into the psyche of the satirist, examining their temperament, motivation, and the impact they have on society. Feinberg explores the historical context of satire, tracing its roots from ancient Greece to modern times, and examines the different forms it takes in literature, art, and popular culture. The book also analyzes the role of satire in social and political commentary, and how it can be used to challenge authority and expose hypocrisy. Feinberg draws on a wide range of examples, from the works of Jonathan Swift and Mark Twain to contemporary satirists like John Oliver and Stephen Colbert, to illustrate his points. The Satirist is a thought-provoking and insightful read for anyone interested in the art of satire and its impact on society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Waking the Tiger is a novel set in late-1950s Sri Lanka, a country at the edge of a gathering storm of violence. Feinberg weaves a complex story of the clash between cultures and castes, expats and ex-colonials, Hindu swamis and Buddhist priests, politicians and entrepeneurs, Sinhalese and Tamils, idealism and realism. Filled with vivid accounts of local customs and locales, Waking the Tiger sardonically describes the underbelly of an apparent paradise. Feinberg lived in Sri Lanka with his family from 1957-1958, when he was Fulbright lecturer in American Literature at the University of Ceylon.
