Evan
Esar, who devoted his life to writing and compiling books of humor,
died on Dec. 9 at his home in suburban Los Angeles, friends reported
last week.
Mr.
Esar, who lived in New York for most of his life, was 96 and lived in
Laguna Hills, Calif., at his death.
As
a young man, he made money by writing articles about oddities, and in
the 1930's, he turned to humor, writing, editing and compiling books
of jokes and humor. In an interview, he once classified himself as a
humorologist.
His
books included "Esar's Comic Dictionary" (1943), "Esar's
Joke Dictionary" (1945), "The Animal Joker" (1946),
"The Dictionary of Humorous Quotations" (1949), "The
Humor of Humor" (1952), "Humorous English" (1961) and
"The Comic Encyclopedia" (1978).
"I
am not interested in dull stuff like the psychology of laughter,"
he said in a 1945 interview. "I am interested in classifying
humor, in the nature and evolution of humor. I am a man of science."
He
identified the five main categories of humor as wordplay (including
puns), caricature (exaggeration, insult), blunders (mistaken
identity, malapropisms), wit (hoaxes, repartee) and nonsense
(doubletalk, limericks). And, he said, they sometimes overlapped.
Mr.
Esar laid claim to a humor library of 2,000 books, and given his
exposure to such quantities of this material, it was not surprising
that he said: "It is very rarely that I ever hear a joke I
haven't heard before. After a drink or two, when in a light mood, I
can laugh, though. I build up a tactful enjoyment."
In
1949, Charles Poore of The New York Times said that Mr. Esar's
"Dictionary of Humorous Quotations" was "one of the
wisest and wittiest books of the year." It compiled such
quotations as these:
Rebecca
West: "He is every other inch a gentleman."
George
Jean Nathan: "He writes his plays for the ages -- the ages
between 5 and 12."
Oscar
Wilde: "He had the sort of face that, once seen, is never
remembered."
La
Rochefoucauld: "We think few people sensible except those who
agree with us."
Robert
Hutchins: "Whenever I feel like exercising, I lie down till the
feeling passes."
Mr.
Esar left little public record of his early life. Christopher C.
Nielsen of Mission Viejo, Calif., who befriended the writer and his
wife in their final years, said he understood that Mr. Esar was born
on July 2, 1899, on a New Jersey farm, the son of immigrants from
Russia.
Mr.
Nielsen said he believed that the child was named Esar Levine and
that the family moved to New York two or three years later. Mr. Esar
spoke of having a witty grandfather and loving silly rhymes and
jokes, which he said he would write down.
Mr.
Esar's wife, the former Cece Silverman, who was known as Patsy, died
last June. Mr. Esar left no immediate family.
