James Thurber: Writings & Drawings (LOA #90) (Library of America) Review: A Wonderful Slice of Americana - What an amazingly irreverent sense of humor Mr. Thurber exhibits. From familial mishaps to stories exposing American society's quirks, this compilation repeatedly brings a knowing smile or an agreeing smirk as reaction to his remarkable prose and casual, tongue-in-cheek story telling. His simple drawings evoke a comfortable humor and an often "sideways" look into our relationships with our pets, our neighbors and our social interactions. I'm also charmingly amused at the prevalence and apparent integral, social importance that alcohol played in his life and the lives of his characters. This tome was thoroughly enjoyed at home, in front of a roaring fire, with a cocktail (or two) on chilly autumn evenings. I thoroughly recommend entering the sometimes cock-eyed, but always entertaining world of Mr. James Thurber! Review: Brings back a lot of absurdist happy memories - I've always loved James Thurber's take on the world. I first read his books in high school and they made funny sense of life's chaos. Not that he tries to say that things can be normal if I just work hard enough or accept things as they are. Quite the opposite. He calls out absurdities, some occurring in nature but most in nonhelpful bureaucracies, rigid relatives and coworkers, and plan-out crazy people. In fact, crazy people are the well-adjusted ones in his world. This book is a well- edited selection of Thurber's many works. I was so delighted to find the story with my favorite Thurber image - the relative convinced that overhead lights that lacked light bulbs were leaking dangerous airborne electricity and it was ruining her health. I lucked out and that was in the first story I read. My balm to life's chaos is back in my life. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #149,778 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,145 in Contemporary Literature & Fiction #1,282 in Fiction Satire #2,106 in Short Stories (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (168) | | Dimensions | 5.21 x 1.6 x 8.15 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1883011221 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1883011222 | | Item Weight | 1.45 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 1004 pages | | Publication date | October 1, 1996 | | Publisher | Library of America | ## Images ![James Thurber: Writings & Drawings (LOA #90) (Library of America) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ho7YoYB7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Wonderful Slice of Americana *by B***K on December 10, 2011* What an amazingly irreverent sense of humor Mr. Thurber exhibits.

It has old favorites of mine and stories I'd never read before. Many of these are social satires, and I was amazed at how one of them in particular could have been written in recent years and still be completely topical and hilarious. I guess the windbags of modern times are pretty much the same as the windbags of Thurber's era. Wonderful book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/10469871-james-thurber-writings-and-drawings-loa-90-library-of-america](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/10469871-james-thurber-writings-and-drawings-loa-90-library-of-america) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-28*
