Duh of course! Sorry to be rude but satire is ineed a genre and not only that but one of the finest forms of the literary arts, and it saddens me that people seem to not even know what the word "satire" even means any more. A satire is in essence, a comic or dramatic (usually comic) exaggerated portrayal of society, as to make clear the faults of society by poking fun at them through brilliantly witty and/or acid writing. Satire eases the pain of living in such a bleak world with humor. Many, many, great books are satires. Here's a few very good and famous ones (in English): Tom Jones by Henry Fielding The School for Scandal by Richard Brinsley Sheridan Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen Bleak House by Charles Dickens The Way We Live Now by Anthony Trollope Vile Bodies by Evelyn Waugh It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
