	BrothersJudd.com - Review of James Thurber's Thurber on Crime
		James Thurber, best remembered today as the creator of Walter Mitty, is one of the group of staff writers who earned The New Yorker its reputation as the "greatest magazine in the world, perhaps the best that ever was," as the old commercial used to inform us.
		Though he would not be considered a crime writer, this book happens to be organized around the topic of crime, and that serves to give it a thematic coherence that a random anthology would lack.
		Most all of the stories are written with the wry wit for which Thurber was best known--in his Introduction, Donald E. Westlake calls it "gentle comedy." There's an especially good true tale about an employee who stole tens of thousands of dollars from Harold Ross, the magazine's publisher, before being caught.

		"'That insane American and depraved artist' is how Winston Churchill slyly characterized James Grover Thurber upon their meeting in the south of France in the 1930s, and Thurber, the shy Midwesterner—at least in his writings—couldn't have been happier.
		His lack of physical impressiveness is all the more impressive when he is pictured, as he often is, cowering next to a woman, usually his wife, who is invariably large and imposing.
		...[T]he larger world, as Thurber wants his reader to understand it—is a queer place, where the odd and the normal are hard to distinguish, a place that fairly jumps with the potential for embarrassment and mortification.
