Cynic satire / by Eric McLuhan.

A Menippean - Cynic - satire is a device for producing a specific kind of effect on the reader.

520 |a A Menippean - Cynic - satire is a device for producing a specific kind of effect on the reader. Menippean satire is an active form, not a passive one: any work that produces the effect of a Menippean satire is a Menippean satire. It is the embodiment of a Cynic - of a Diogenes or a Menippus or a Lucian or a Rabelais. For centuries, it has frustrated the best efforts of critics to define it.
