The Thurber Carnival

Bys: Frank Madison Breen and Preface-James Thurber

Thurber's life baffles and irritates the biographer because of its lack of design. One has the disturbing feeling that the man contrived to be some place without actually having gone there. His drawings, for example, sometimes seen to have reached completionby some other route.In his prose pieces he appears always to have started from the beginning and to have reached the end by way of the middle. This book contains a selection of the stories and drawings that Thurber did in his prime, a period which extended roughly from the year Lindbergh flew the Atlantic to the day coffee was rationed.
