Editorial Reviews
Book Description

First published in 1949, Thurber Country remains a benchmark of satirical writing. Now, in this Simon & Schuster Classic Edition, is the original book, with a new introduction by Lillian Ross.

The fact that James Thurber

wrote this collection

of pieces

is,

of course,

a publisher's blurb

in itself.

It therefore is necessary

simply to give

the reader

some factual idea

of

what sort of pieces

they are.

There are

26 of them.

Most

(including "File and Forget,"

a correspondence

with his publishers

which is not

recommended to people

who have

a tendency

to get bad hiccoughs

from

too much laughing)

have

already appeared

in The New Yorker.

Seven pieces

have appeared

in The Bermudian

and have therefore

never

been published

in this country.

You will find

Thurber Country

a place

not difficult to enter,

but

hard to leave.
