Several of Thurber’s early pieces, such as “The Gentleman Is Cold” (1935), in which Thurber is defeated by an overcoat which does not fit and has lost its buttons, and “My Memories of D.H.Lawrence” (1936), in which the person at the railroad station Thurber assumes to be Lawrence turns out to be George R.Hopkins, owner of a paper factory in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, are pure Benchley, whose self-mockery is more successful than Thurber’s. Thurber’s real success in and distinctive contribution to this area of humor derives from his attention to the Little Man’s inner life, an inner life which adds the dimension of wild fantasy. The most famous example of this flight into fantasy is the short story “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” (1942.), but Thurber employs the same kind of figure in his Personal essays. In many essays some optical or auditory signal precipitates headlong flights into the fantastic, into what John Updike termed “the enchantment of misapprehension.”

One Hour to Read The Reading Experience, Blogged Recently in Thurber, James Category The Beast in Me and Other Animals Filed Under Thurber, James Tags Humor by onehourtoread on March 4, 2010 1:04 AM Permalink Comments (0) TrackBacks (0) I skipped enough stories in this book that I think I barely read it. I'm not entirely sure that I should even mention it here. Thurber is funny, but this just doesn't seem as interesting a collection as " My World and Welcome to It ." The humor here just seems a bit too topical to remain funny today. Some funny pieces are scattered within here, but overall it was a little disappointing. If you're ever inclined to read 70 pages about radio soap operas, however, this then is the book for you. My World and Welcome to It Filed Under Thurber, James Tags Essays Humor by onehourtoread on January 2, 2010 6:52 PM Permalink Comments (0) TrackBacks (0) I picked this book up to see if I still liked James Thurber. I hadn't read him for about twenty years, and the book itself is about sixty years old. Humor generally doesn't have a long shelf-life, so I was a bit skeptical. Still, much of this book was funny. His work doesn't hold up quite as well as that of Stephen Leacock , but there were times I laughed out loud.
