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." .
