The Onion Book of Known Knowledge

A richly illustrated, satirical reference that reframes familiar facts and cultural touchstones with The Onion's trademark deadpan humor. Entries range from short, absurd definitions to illustrated diagrams that lampoon history, science, language and celebrity culture.

Organized like a compact encyclopaedia but written for comic effect, the paperback edition is easy to browse: dip in for a laugh, follow an absurd thread, or read cover-to-cover for sustained parody. The tone mixes wit, irony and pointed cultural observation.

Ideal for readers who enjoy satire, pop-culture critique, and illustrated humor. Highlights include:

• Thousands of concise, comedic entries
• Colorful illustrations, charts and diagrams
• Deadpan takes on language, lore and current culture
