Summary/Abstract: In Fouad Laroui’s work, humour is a defence mechanism that enables the characters to cope with the suffering imposed by external realities. By giving precedence to the pleasure principle, by associating opposites in defiance of the dichotomies of rationality, the humorous act expresses a tenacious refusal to surrender to the misfortune and tragedy of the world. In Laroui's novels, whenever a character finds himself in a situation that threatens his integrity, he wraps himself in the protective shell of humour.
