James Thurber
(1894 – 1961) Poet, cartoonist, playwright and essayist, Thurber’s wry humor explored alternative relations of gender in which men sought less to dominate than to escape from gender battles, work and modernity. A frequent contributor to the New Yorker, Thurber’s bestknown works include Is Sex Necessary? (with E.B. White, 1929), “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” (1942) and the Thurber Carnival (1945), as well as children’s books and a memoir, The Years with Ross (1959). Films and a television series have been based on his works.
