In "My World - and Welcome to It," James Thurber's incisive wit and vivid imagination transform the mundane into the extraordinary. From a man who mistakes his wife for a hat to a war between humans and mice, these stories brim with Thurber's singular brand of subtle comedy and sharp social commentary. With a keen eye for the ironies of everyday life, he skewers the pretensions of the middle class and lays bare the chaos bubbling beneath the surface of polite society.
