Assault on Society: Satirical Literature to Film

Donald W. McCaffrey

“Explores over four decades of satirical and dark comedy films, a genre that has been examined only piecemeal before. Since many of these were adapted from novels and dramas, McCaffrey concentrates on literature transformed to the screen. Some works of this genre attack society’s defects with the intent to change them, or at least to enlighten us. If change seems impossible, the absurdist tone of the work has value, as in the case of Dr. Strangelove, Catch-22, The Day of the Locust, or A Clockwork Orange.”
