James Thurber's "Years With Ross" is a rollicking, behind-the-scenes account of his decades-long friendship with legendary New Yorker editor Harold Ross. From wild office parties to heated editorial battles, Thurber offers a captivating glimpse into the inner workings of the magazine that defined American humor. As Ross's trusted right-hand man, Thurber navigates the eccentricities of the boss he both idolizes and clashes with, all while cementing his own legacy as one of the 20th century's sharpest satirists.
