Today I’m excited to be guest posting at Beryl Belsky’s The Writer’s Drawer. Join me here where I’m discussing the recent upheaval over the movie The Interview and the role of satire in books and movies and in our lives. Please join me there!
What is your view of satire? Is it dangerous? Please leave a comment at The Writer’s Drawer and take a few minutes to navigate Beryl’s wonderful site. She is so supportive of authors!

I think satire is good for the most part. Not dangerous at all.
I agree, Lisa. We all need a little satire to keep things in perspective (and keep us honest!).
OMG so à propos with the events in Paris!
I know. I wrote the piece in response to what was happening at Sony–serious enough–and then the Paris massacre overshadowed it all. I guess satire is just about the most threatening writing there is.
