  • "Né à Colombus, Ohio, à la fin du XIXe siècle, J. Thurber, l'écrivain et dessinateur, travaille à Washington puis à Paris avant de rejoindre les Etats-Unis et d'entrer au New Yorker en 1927. Dans ces chroniques drolatiques, il met en scène sa famille avec malice et lucidité et fait revivre l'Amérique ordinaire du début du XXe siècle."

He relates the eccentric goings on of his family and the town beyond Columbus, Ohio. Characters include the maid who lives in constant fear of being hypnotised; a grandfather who believes that the American Civil War is still going on; a mother who fears electricity is leaking all over the house and Muggs, an airedale terrier that has a liking for biting people."@en
