Cécile Guérard’s *L’Ironie* (1998) is a compact French‑language volume that explores the subtle art of irony in everyday discourse. Through a series of concise essays, Guérard examines how ironic expression functions as both a social lubricant and a tool for critique, drawing on literary examples, philosophical reflections, and contemporary cultural observations. The book balances scholarly insight with an accessible tone, making it suitable for readers interested in language, communication, and the nuanced ways humor can reveal deeper truths.
