Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. hardback A collection of the cartoons, and short pieces mostly from the New Yorker by the American literary figure. Some of the Cartoons are classics ("Touche", and "This is the present Mrs. Hampshire!" This is material he wrote prior to 1948, and many of the pieces are journalism rather than entertainment. There s his long history of radio soap operas and the history of the evolution of the crossword puzzle. It's amazing how timeless most of this collection of Thurber pieces is--a longish, five chapter essay on radio soap operas, despite referring to long gone serials, is quite interesting and informed by irony, and even a collection of "Talk of the Town" bits written by Thurber in the 1920s and 1930s stand on their own, although I had to google "Ely Culbertson" to really understand the two pieces about contract bridge games. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
