My Life and Hard Times (Perennial Classics)
Editorial Reviews
Russell Baker, New York Times
"Possibly the shortest and most elegant autobiography ever written . . . .The Brevity Thurber achieved in My Life and Hard Times by stopping at 1918 seems almost incoceivable today when the most typical biography feels more like a bludgeon than a book"

Newsweek
"The late James Thurber from Columbus, Ohio, in the course of his work as a an ironic and comic genius, was a rare thing as can be found in the United Statesa stark American without a trace of corn, and a first-class sensibility without a tinge of the precious. He died within twelve months of Hemingway and Faulkner, and Thurber himself is a already a figure, at once looming and modest, in the national pantheon."
