{"product_id":"9781598533125","title":"James Thurber: Writings \u0026 Drawings (LOA #90)","description":"James Thurber, whimsical fantasist and deadpan chronicler of everyday absurdities, brought American humor into the 20th century. His comic persona, a modern citydweller whose zaniest flights of free association are tinged with anxiety, remains hilarious, subtly disturbing, and instantly recognizable. Here, in over 1000 pages, editor Garrison Keillor presents the best and most extensive collection ever assembled. Over 100 pieces include “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” and “The Catbird Seat,” the brilliantly satirical \u003ci\u003eFables for Our Time\u003c\/i\u003e, the classic \u003ci\u003eMy Life and Hard Times\u003c\/i\u003e, and the best of \u003ci\u003eThe Owl in the Attic\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLet Your Mind Alone!\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMy World—And Welcome to It\u003c\/i\u003e, and the other famous books. Plus 500 wonderful drawings, including \u003ci\u003eThe Seal in the Bedroom\u003c\/i\u003e and celebrated sequences like “The Masculine Approach” and “The War Between Men and Women.” Rounding out the volume is a selection from \u003ci\u003eThe Years with Ross\u003c\/i\u003e, a memoir of the \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e publisher, and a number of wonderful early pieces never collected by Thurber.","brand":"Library of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47172287856880,"sku":"9781598533125","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781598533125_p0.jpg?v=1763812178","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781598533125","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
