Answer:
Telling a joke—or at least including humor—is great advice for writers, especially in light of recent research. Purely comic fiction may not sell well, but many novels that tackle serious topics with flashes of humor—John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, Jesse Andrews’ Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, and dozens of others—do spectacularly, for good reason: There are seven excellent uses for humor in serious fiction.
1. Reader identification.
We writers are urged to make our characters relatable. Humor helps with that. Studies reported in Mitch Earleywine’s book Humor 101 found that a surprisingly high 94% of people think that their sense of humor is average or above. That makes readers identify with characters who demonstrate a sense of humor.
2. Assigning positive traits to characters.
People with a sense of humor are better liked, and research shows that if we think people have a good sense of humor, we also assume they are more creative, intelligent, cooperative, pleasant, and considerate than average. A sense of humor is therefore a compressed way to assign a character other positive traits. For those of us who write less-likeable protagonists, that’s especially important. If our characters demonstrate a sense of humor, readers like them better.
