humorist&#8217sbest work&#8212inluding &#8220ThSecret

Life of Walter Mitty&#8221#8212plus original drawings and a

chronology of Thurber&#8217sown troubled life &nbspJames

Thurber, whimsical fantasist and deadpan chronicler of

everyday absurdities, brought American humor into the 20th

century. His comic persona, a modern city-dweller whose

zaniest flights of free association are tinged with anxiety,

remains hilarious, subtly disturbing, and instantly recognizable.

&nbspHere, in over 1,000 pages, editor Garrison Keillor

presents the best and most extensive collection ever

assembled. Pieces include &#8220ThSecret Life of Walter

Mitty&#8221and &#8220ThCatbird Seat,&#8221the brilliantly

satirical&nbspFabes for Our Time, the classic&nbspMyLife and

Hard Times, and the best of&nbspTheOwl in the

Attic,&nbspLetYour Mind Alone!,&nbspMyWorld&#8212An

Welcome to It, and the other famous books. Plus 500

wonderful drawings, including&nbspTheSeal in the

Bedroom&nbspandcelebrated sequences like

&#8220ThMasculine Approach&#8221and &#8220ThWar

Between Men and Women.&#8221Rounding out the volume is

a selection from&nbspTheYears with Ross, a memoir of

the&nbspNewYorker&nbsppubisher, and a number of

wonderful early pieces never collected by Thurber. &nbspOnly

a book of this scope can do justice to

Thurber&#8217sextraordinary career and to the many

unexpected turns of his comic genius.&nbsp&nbspLIBRARY
