For cynical novels, 'A Clockwork Orange' by Anthony Burgess is great. It shows a dystopian and cynical view of society. As for comedy novels, 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' by Douglas Adams is a classic. It has a unique brand of humor that makes it really enjoyable.
One of the best cynical novels is '1984' by George Orwell. It depicts a totalitarian society full of surveillance and control. For comedy novels, 'Confessions of a Shopaholic' by Sophie Kinsella is very funny. It follows the adventures of a shopaholic woman.
Well, 'The Great Gatsby' can be considered a somewhat cynical novel. It shows the hollowness of the upper class and the futility of the American Dream. Fitzgerald's writing reveals the cynicism behind the glittering facade of wealth. Also, '1984' by George Orwell is a very cynical look at a totalitarian future. It makes you question authority and privacy. Then there's 'Lord of the Flies' which is cynical about human nature, as it shows how quickly boys turn savage when left without proper civilization.
One of the best is 'Catch - 22' by Joseph Heller. It's full of absurd and cynical situations in the military, with dark humor that makes you both laugh and cringe. For example, the way the military bureaucracy is portrayed is both hilarious and deeply cynical.
I'd recommend 'Animal Farm'. It's relatively easy to understand and its cynical view of power and corruption is presented in a very engaging way through the story of the animals on the farm. Another good one is 'The Great Gatsby'. It gives a taste of cynicism towards the upper class and the idea of the American Dream in a beautifully written narrative.
Sure. 'American Psycho' by Bret Easton Ellis. It's a disturbing yet darkly humorous look at the excesses of the 1980s yuppie culture. The main character's violent and self - absorbed rants are presented with a certain black humor that makes you question the society that could produce such a character.
"Did the Princess Consort Miss Me?","Great Tang Youth's Unique Song","Midsummer Tassel","The Story of Breaking the Heavens in the Romance of Cultivation","The Beggar Queen Is Extremely Fierce","The Great State Preceptor's Wedding Was Robbed Again","The Great Scholar of the Highest Quality","This Concubine Is Crafty: Abducting a Husband Is a Demon".

Well, 'An American Marriage' by Tayari Jones has some elements that could be considered comical within the context of its complex story, making it a possible candidate among 2018 comedy novels in fiction. 'There There' by Tommy Orange also has its moments of dark humor. But if we're talking pure comedy, 'The Ensemble' by Aja Gabel is really good. It follows the lives of a string quartet with a lot of witty dialogue and comical situations that are typical of a great comedy novel in the fiction category in 2018.
One of the best 2018 comedy mystery novels is 'The Thursday Murder Club' by Richard Osman. It features a group of elderly sleuths in a retirement village who solve murders. Their bickering and unique personalities add a lot of humor to the mystery-solving process. Another great one could be 'An Elderly Lady Is Up to No Good' by Helene Tursten. The elderly lady in the story gets into all sorts of comical and mysterious situations.
The plot is another key aspect. In comedy novels from 2018, the plot usually has unexpected twists and turns that are humorous. 'Good Omens' has a really wild plot with the end - of - the - world scenario being turned on its head by the angel and demon's actions.
