Thurber Country

 - 276 pages 
<br/><br/> First published in 1949, Thurber Country remains a benchmark of satirical writing. Now, in this Simon & Schuster Classic Edition, is the original book, with a new introduction by Lillian Ross.  The fact that James Thurber  wrote this collection  of pieces  is, of course,  a publisher's blurb  in itself.  It therefore is necessary  simply to give  the reader  some factual idea  of  what sort of pieces  they are.  There are 26 of them.  Most (including "File and Forget,"  a correspondence  with his publishers  which is not  recommended to people  who have a tendency  to get bad hiccoughs from  too much laughing)  have already appeared in The New Yorker.  Seven pieces  have appeared  in The Bermudian  and have therefore  never  been published  in this country.  You will find  Thurber Country  a place  not difficult to enter,  but  hard to leave.
