La Grande Encyclopédie du dérisoire, tome 2
Work detail
La Grande Encyclopédie du dérisoire, tome 2 is a French-language humorous reference volume by Bruno Leandri, issued by Fluide Glacial. Presented in an encyclopedia format, it gathers concise entries on absurd, marginal, and apparently trivial subjects, treating the ridiculous with the formal seriousness of a reference book. The tone is comic and irreverent, using the structure of factual compilation to highlight oddities, minor curiosities, and overlooked details rather than to provide conventional scholarly coverage. As the second volume in the series, the book extends the same playful premise of the earlier installment: a catalog of the seemingly insignificant that becomes entertaining through selection, phrasing, and deadpan presentation. It is best understood as a work of comic nonfiction or humorous reference, aimed at readers who enjoy witty miscellanies, absurd facts, and compact entries that can be read in short bursts.
