âCollecting Himself is a charmer. The old Thurber is back among us againâand some of the pieces even reveal a new Thurber. Great fun.â âClifton Fadiman James Thurber spent most of his career at the New Yorker magazine, drawing cartoons and writing essays and stories. Collecting Himself is a one-of-a-kind compilation of James Thurber's vintage writings, featuring previously unanthologized articles, essays, interviews, reviews, cartoons, parodies, as well as Thurber's reflections on his work in theater and at the New Yorker. An eclectic body of work that offers a glimpse into Thurber the man, the philosopher, and the critic. âThurberâs pieces . . . are jewels of English writing.â âRussell Baker, The New York Times âThurber is . . . a landmark in American humor . . . he is the funniest artist who ever lived.â âThe New Republic âThurber was one of America's most important humorists. With this collection, editor Rosen brings together an eclectic body of Thurber's writings and drawings not previously anthologized.â âLibrary Journal âEvery entry [is] a reminder of Thurber's sublime wit.â âPublishers Weekly |
