Book description

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0060908300, Paperback)

Another collection of Thurberiana, unique in that it contains a peppering of the author's favorites, also an introduction to his "serious comedy." Among the 32 stories lurk joyosities such as "The Lady of Orlon," "The Psychosemanticist Will See You Now, Mr. Thurber," "Get Thee to a Monastery" and "The Moribundant Life, or Grow Old Along with Whom?"

"His writings will be a document of the age they belong to." --T.S. Eliot
