"Collecting Himself is a charmer. The old Thurber is back among us again -- and some of the pieces even reveal a new Thurber. Great fun." -- Clifton Fadiman

James Thurber spent most of his career at the New Yorker magazine, drawing cartoons and writing essays and stories. Collecting Himself is a one-of-a-kind compilation of James Thurber's vintage writings, featuring previously unanthologized articles, essays, interviews, reviews, cartoons, parodies, as well as Thurber's reflections on his work in theater and at the New Yorker. An eclectic body of work that offers a glimpse into Thurber the man, the philosopher, and the critic.

"Thurber's pieces... are jewels of English writing." -- Russell Baker, The New York Times

"Thurber is... a landmark in American humor... he is the funniest artist who ever lived." -- The New Republic

"Thurber was one of America's most important humorists. With this collection, editor Rosen brings together an eclectic body of Thurber's writings and drawings not previously anthologized." -- Library Journal

"Every entry [is] a reminder of Thurber's sublime wit." -- Publishers Weekly
