Th first American tptlling book wu prtnUd by Stephen Day in Cambridge, Maatechu etu in the year 1643! BOOK RIV.IE7 By Juitlne Weatherford Burton Bernstein's 197$ "only authorized" biography of the American humorist James Thurber was reviewed by Marlon Abrams at the March 16 Joint meeting of the Bookworms and the lone Topic Club. Each member of the Bookworms presented a short quotation from Thurber before the review. The 500 page Dodd, Mead and Co. publication contains many photographs of Thurber and his family and contemporary writers, as well as several sections of his famous cartoons. The author, staff writer on the New Yorker Magazine for 18 years, was personally acquainted with Thurber and received great help from the widow, Helen, in preparing his manuscript. Mrs. Abram's review brought out the complete life of the writer She read, "Thurber is not Just the name of one of the world's greatest humorists and artists. The word "Thurber" has become a part of our vernacular the Thurber woman, the Thurber man, and the Thurber dog are all Instantly and vividly recognizable. No other description is really needed." Bernstein's biography is frank and uncensored and gives an in-depth look at his complex, contradictory subject and the forces that shape him from a handicapped, naive Ohio boy into a brilliant, original, international literary figure. The book contains many private papers, personal letters and a collection of exhaustive interviews with those who were closest to Thurber and most able to tell with Insight of his erratic life and hectic times. Thurber was born in Columbus, OH in 1894 and lived there until he left Ohio State University in 1918 when he was 23' years old. He was half blind, but eager to contribute to the war effort and was able to find employment in the U.S. Department of State as a code clerk. After his Washington, D.C. training period, he traveled to France and arrived at Saint Nazaire two days after the Armistice was declared," however, he remained in Europe several years after the war. Thurber returned to the United States, struggled as a news reporter, married Althea, had frightening times when the sight of his one eye faded. His marriage fell apart, but his writing succeeded and the New Yorker began to feature his cartoons. He succeeded as a writer and many of his short pieces, books and the play. "The Male Animal" were hits. In 1935 he remarried and he and his wife, Helen traveled and finally found their dream home in Cornwall, CT. Although! he lost his sight he continued to write. Brain surgery for a tumor, followed by a coma resulted in his death in November 1961. The world press eulogized him as "the greatest humorist of his time; "America's greatest since Mark Twain", and "like only to Mark Twain and Lewis Carroll." .
