About the book

The Genius of James Thurber presents a selection of the humorous writing and drawings of one of America's most distinctive comic voices. Thurber's work is filled with eccentric characters, bewildered husbands, formidable wives and surreal situations that transform ordinary domestic and social life into absurd comedy. His understated prose and wonderfully simple cartoons combine to create a style that is instantly recognisable and enduringly funny.
