    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Jon Winokur defines and classifies irony and contrasts it with coincidence and cynicism, and other oft-confused concepts that many think are ironic.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;He looks at the different forms irony can take, from an irony deficiency to visual irony to an understatement, using photographs and relate-able examples from pop culture. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;* &quot;Irony in Action&quot; looks at irony in language, both verbal and visual, while &quot;Bastions of Irony&quot; and &quot;Masters of Irony&quot; look at institutions and individuals steeped in irony, though not always intentionally. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;PLUS:<br/>* The Annals of Irony looks at irony, and its lack thereof, throughout history. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A delight for anyone with a smart, dark sense of humor.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>
