He supposedly lived to the age of 969. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn creating the modern mythical character Methuselah, the character allows Mr. Kohl to use the type of humor he loves, theater-of-the-absurd. It allows for the juxtaposition of time and place, both which the reader should be familiar with and see the outrageousness. It is the absurdity that sparks the humor. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe character also allows the reader to gain a perception through the eyes of a time traveler who can reference an earlier time period to provide a backdrop on his perception. The humor is delivered in one or two sentences per page and can jump from century to century not allowing the reader to settle into a time period. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMethuselah takes the reader's time to a period other than now. The present can be dreary, so a trip through time allows a reader an escape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46398958633111,"sku":"9798869314291","price":1145.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798869314291.webp?v=1769046560","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/methuselah-humor-transcending-time-9798869314291","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
