In John Irving's "The World According to Garp", there's a section where the
witer Garp replies to a reader who considers him an insensitive boor
for writing a black comedy.  Read his letter (I think it's about a third of
the way into the book, typeset differently from the rest of the book) for a
well-stated writer's view of black humor.
