Title: A True Word In Jest
Review: This intriguing little volume is not only a collection, as we are told, of 60 jokes, not just an explanation ( or even a demonstration ) of " The Sufi Use of Humor ", as stated in its title. As will be no surprise to readers of Shah's other works, this book is many - layered and multi - faceted. It is as comprehensive and concise a presentation of the contemporary, yet apparently timeless, Sufi understanding of how the spiritual education of the individual is to be accomplished, of the all - too - common mindsets which will tend to inhibit this development, as exists, I believe, in the Shah opus.
