![]() ![]() ![]() Tobias argues that Thurber comically celebrates the life of the mind: “Thurber’s victory is a freedom within law that delights and surprises.” Blair and Hill, in America’s Humor (1978), see Thurber as a sort of black humorist laughing at his own destruction, “a humorist bedeviled by neuroses, cowed before the insignificant things in his world, and indifferent to the cosmic ones. Tobias on the one hand and the team of Walter Blair and Hamlin Hill on the other. The poles are well represented by Richard C. There is disagreement among critics as to the drift of the attitudes and themes reflected in James Thurber’s work. Thurber seemed to prefer to work on the borderlines between conventional forms. As a result, most of his writings can be treated as short fiction. ![]() Many of his first-person autobiographical sketches are known to be “fact” rather than fiction only through careful biographical research. His “memoirs” in My Life and Hard Times are clearly fictionalized. His essays frequently employ stories and are “fictional” in recognizable ways. To discuss Thurber as an artist in the short-story form is difficult, however, because of the variety of things he did that might legitimately be labeled short stories. James Thurber (Decem– November 2, 1961) is best known as the author of humorous sketches, stories, and reminiscences dealing with urban bourgeois American life. ![]() ![]() ![]() Greene’s only novel in the first-person, we hear almost entirely from Bendrix who, through a chance encounter, is thrust back into memories of a long, passionate, but abruptly ended affair with Sarah. If you read more for narrative though, you’ll also love this book. And the characterisation so believable, by virtue perhaps of how brave, harsh, and cold it is. Greene’s writing in this book is, well, stunning. Frequently I shuddered, the language sending me staring away from the page, looking and feeling like I’d been bonked on the head. If you read for prose, for instance, you’ll love The End of the Affair. We all read for different parts of the same reasons. I just like travelling, don’t make me choose one!) But re-read it I did, and found that I still love this novel with goosepimply gusto. So it was with some trepidation that I read The End of the Affair again, a book I’d always cited when asked that impossible question: What’s your favourite book? (A little like being asked what your favourite country is.

In some stations, walking against the crowd can be a tedious, nearly impossible process. Throngs of people cluster in tight bottlenecks until they burst through corridors and stairways and tunnels to reach the next stage of their journey. Whether walking through main doors at a pace of a dozen people each second, or arriving by train hundreds at a time, the station can feel a bit like a balloon being pumped too full. Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of strangers flow through with a singular purpose: to get where they need to go. A busy commuter train station might seem like a very individualized place. ![]() ![]() The climax is as good as any thriller (I completely missed my stop on the tube, finally snapping out of a daze thinking, "hey I haven't been this excited since Jodi Foster went head to head with Buffalo Bill in Silence Of The Lambs!"). ![]() Full grown men startle for their utter failure in self-reflexion as much as for the appalling lengths to which they will go in the name of self-interest. ![]() It's difficult to work out who's meant to be the villain, mostly because I think everyone was.
