I'm Dying Laughing, because of its intense theme and style, harks back to Stead's best work The Man Who Loved Children. Emily, the loquacious, uncontrollably energetic and self-destructive heroine, also resembles Sam Pollit in that novel. Some sections are agreed to be brilliant: in particular, the consecutive scenes "The Dinner Party" and "The Straightening Out".
