[an error occurred while processing this directive] Go to Chapter One Section James Thurber His Life and Times By Harrison Kinney Chapter One: Those Clocks of Columbus In the early years of the nineteenth century, Columbus won out, as state capital, by only one vote over Lancaster, and ever since then has had the hallucination that it is being followed, a curious municipal state of mind which affects, in some way or other, all those who live there. Columbus is a town in which almost anything is likely to happen and in which almost everything has. -from "More Alarms at Night" In the period of Mccarthyism, America's political nightmare of the 1950s, Donald Ogden Stewart, actor, playwright, screenplay writer, and satirist, found himself being chased through the ideological badlands by congressional posses in hot pursuit of un-American Americans. His career and livelihood in danger of being lynched at home, he moved abroad. He was from Columbus, Ohio, and writes: "When I first came to live in London, I was amazed at the number of Englishmen who said, `Oh, yes, Columbus, of course. I know it very well, from Thurber's books, you know.'" Stewart's observation is seconded by a Columbus Citizen-Journal radio-television editor who once interviewed the English actor Charles Laughton over long distance telephone: "So you're plugged in from Columbus, eh?" Laughton remarked. "The home of James Thurber. He is a good friend of mine and the greatest living master of the English language."

It became one of the most anthologized stories in American literature, and his "ta-poketa-poketa" hero became the archetype for dreamy, hapless, Thurber Man – a species with which he was all too familiar. James Thurber's Comic Vision When he was a boy, James Thurber lost an eye when he and his brother were playing with their homemade bows and arrows, and then late in life he lost the sight in the other one. In between, he developed the comic vision and the cartoons of homo Thurberus , and made him, said one American critic in the 50s, "the greatest and most original humorist this country has produced."

Interview with a Lemming by James Thurber The weary scientist, tramping through the mountains of northern Europe in the winter weather dropped his knapsack and prepared to sit on a rock. "Careful, brother," said a voice. "Sorry," murmured the scientist, noting with some surprise that a lemming which he had been about to sit on had addressed him. "It is a source of considerable astonishment to me," said the scientist, sitting down beside the lemming, "that you are capable of speech." "You human beings are always astonished," said the lemming, "when any other animal can do anything you can. Yet there are many things animals can do that you cannot, such as stridulate, or chirr, to name just one. To stridulate, or chirr, one of the minor achievements of the cricket, your species is dependent on the intestines of sheep and the hair of the horse." "We are a dependent animal," admitted the scientist. "You are an amazing animal," said the lemming. "We have always considered you rather amazing, too," said the scientist. "You are perhaps the most mysterious of creatures." "If we are going to indulge in adjectives beginning with 'm,' said the lemming sharply, "let me apply a few to your speciesmurderous, maladjusted, maleficent and muffle-headed."

Columbus, Ohio USA Return to Homepage www.shortnorth.com email Tom Thomson: publisher@shortnorth.com Thurber Connection written by Gazette Publisher Tom Thomson Episode One I first learned of James Thurber's death in the papers. The date was November 4, 1961. He had been stricken with a blood clot on the brain October 4 and underwent emergency surgery. The operation was successful, but he contracted pneumonia which was too much for his weakened body to resist. Thurber was cremated and his ashes were brought home to Columbus from New York City for burial in Greenlawn Cemetery. The ceremony was held November 9, at 3 p.m. In a brief and simple graveside service, the ashes of the world-famous humorist and humanitarian were buried in the family plot among the Fishers and Thurbers who had been immortalized in many of his stories. His wife, Helen, was there, calm and composed after the long vigil that had begun a month before. After his eyesight had completely failed, Thurber called her his seeing-eye wife. For many years she assisted him in copying, reading, and re-reading manuscripts and drawings, as well as being a friendly critic. His closest friends attested that his burden had for many years been lightened by Helen's affection and loyalty. Thurber's daughter by a first marriage, Rosemary, and her husband, Frederick Sauers, of La Grange, Illinois were present. Thurber had remained close to Rosemary and later to his grandchildren.

31. A Visit From Saint Nicholas In The Ernest Hemingway Manner By James Thurber I first encountered james thurber when I viewed the Danny Kaye film The Secret Life james Grover thurber was born on December 8, 1894 in Columbus, Ohio. http://thenostalgialeague.com/olmag/st_nicholas.html

A Visit from Saint Nicholas IN THE ERNEST HEMINGWAY MANNER By James Thurber I first encountered James Thurber when I viewed the Danny Kaye film The Secret Life of Walter Mitty . I was a teenager at the time and was just discovering that movies were often adapted from prose. Finding the humor of Mitty to my liking, I eagerly sought out Thurber's work and must admit, was disappointed. I have, however, delved back into his work over the years and am pleased to report that either Thurber, or I, have improved with age. Although some of his references are dated, his insight into the human condition still rings true today and it is easy to see why he is considered by many to be the greatest American humorist since Mark Twain. James Grover Thurber was born on December 8, 1894 in Columbus, Ohio. His father, Charles Leander Thurber, worked in a number of clerical and secretarial jobs for various Ohio politicians and had many periods of unemployment. His mother, Mary Agnes Fisher, was a full-time housewife, lifelong practical joker and her skewed sense of humor was probably the major influence on Thurber's writing. There was another influence, however, that was of a much more serious nature. At the age of 7, Thurber was engaged in a game of William Tell with his brothers and was struck in his left eye during the game. There was some delay in removing the damaged eye and his right eye suffered as a result. For the rest of his life, Thurber was plagued by failing eyesight. The injury also impacted his childhood since kept him from participating in many activities. As a result, Thurber excelled at academics throughout his school years and, although he was quite popular in school, he tended to spend many hours alone studying, developing elaborate fantasies for his own amusement and teaching himself to draw.

Z James Thurber Writer Cartoonist James Thurber's witty short stories and lumpy cartoons were a popular mainstay of The New Yorker magazine in the 1930s and 1940s. A Midwestern boy with an urbane twist, Thurber mixed comical reminiscences of his Ohio childhood with wry observations on modern times and the battle of the sexes. (His best-known story is The Secret Life of Walter Mitty , the tale of a henpecked husband who escapes into heroic daydreams.) Thurber's funny, loopy, absurdist cartoons featured men, women, dogs and other strange animals. He was by turns hilarious and melancholy, and his darker nature seemed to come out in stories and cartoons about husbands and wives: the wives often domineering and sarcastic, the husbands harried or bitterly triumphant. Like Mark Twain , Thurber became increasingly morose in his last decade, although he continued to write until his death. His books include the spoof Is Sex Necessary?
