Marvelous!

Absolutely marvelous book!!! I had not expected the darkness of some of the pieces, "The Greatest Man in the World", for instance, which was made into a short video. Most were full of humor, though. Some just hilarious. The one about the math problems had me laughing so hard I couldn't see. Still laughing when I went to bed. Couldn't even describe it without cracking up. What an observer of the human condition he was. And yet. All of his stories, simply all, had downtrodden, woebegone men in them. Unhappy men. Makes me wonder about Thurber himself.
