    Funny, funny, funny....
  

*by N***7 on Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2020*

James Thurber was a cartoonist and writer for the New Yorker for many years. In cartoons and writing, Thurber possessed a dry, matter-of-fact wit.I first read My Life and Hard Times--an ostensible Thurber autobiography--in seventh grade. I found it roll-on-the-floor funny then, and mostly do so still today.Thurber takes the eccentricities of everyday life and family and draws them out just short of the absurd. The humor is droll. And wonderful. A fabulously funny book.I bought the book to read to my grandchildren. Though wonderful for early teens, this book will amuse and delight readers of any age.

    A Calm Look at the Absurd
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2021*

This gem of a book takes us back to a time when humor was not forced, but honored for its presence in everyday life, if you had the gift of giving voice to it. Such a creature was Thurber. His drawings convey a maximum of meaning, with a minimum of detail. So does his prose. In this book, the visit of the ghost is a perfect example. A rare reading delight.

    My Life and Hard Times
  

*by J***W on Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2013*

A reread of a classic James Thurber's view of his life with humor and wit. James Thurber 1894-1961 lived through some momentous times in our country and became one of its  greatest writers. His writings are as readable today as then.I read these stories thirty five years ago and still they are vivid in memory. Rereading is a nostalgic trip for me.  His views of his family life, in this slim volume, are hilarious and provides one a feeling of  good cheer for an afternoon.  He said of himself on writing this book: I myself have accomplished nothing of excellence except a remarkable and, to some of my friends, unaccountable expertness in hitting ginger ale bottles with small rocks at a distance of thirty paces.He was the  first editor of the New Yorker magazine and contributed many books for our enjoyment
