Here is one place where I learned that humor could be good without being laugh-out-loud. ( ) fiction/short stories (with the occasional "autobiographical essay"). These are good stories but I find myself unable to follow the multiple characters very easily. I have to keep re-reading the pages, which takes the fun out of it. Still, I enjoyed revisiting "Walter Mitty" (since the Ben Stiller version comes out this Christmas). I have read this before—or at least parts of it—and was curious to revisit it. However, it only took a couple of the stories for me to realize that I no longer enjoy his style of writing. Instead of continuing to read it when I wasn't enjoying the style, I flipped to my favorite of Thurber's shorts (The Macbeth Murder Mystery) and re-read that, and then returned the volume to my library. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

James Thurber's unique ability to convey the vagaries of life in a funny, witty, and often satirical way earned him accolades as one of the finest humorists of the twentieth century. A bestseller upon its initial publication in 1945, The Thurber Carnival captures the depth of his talent and the breadth of his wit. The stories compiled here, almost all of which first appeared in The New Yorker, are from his uproarious and candid collection My World and Welcome to It, including the American classic "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" as well as from The Owl in the Attic, The Seal in the Bathroom, Men, Women and Dogs. Thurber's take on life, society, and human nature is timeless and will continue to delight readers even as they recognize a bit of themselves in his brilliant sketches.
