Attempted Bloggery’s Copy Of Peter Schickele’s “Thurber’s Dogs”
After finding a blurry image of this CD while roaming the internet, I went looking for a better one to show today, and wouldn’t you know it: a Spill fave blog, Attempted Bloggery already did a piece on this disc back in July 2017. Don’t know how I missed it, but I’m glad I found it today. Stephen Nadler, who runs Attempted Bloggery put together a fine post on the disc, including a link to a really nice Schickele song from the disc. Link here to Attempted Bloggery for the 2017 Thurber’s Dogs post.
James Thurber’s A-Z Spill entry:
James Thurber Born, Columbus, Ohio, December 8, 1894. Died 1961, New York City. New Yorker work: 1927 -1961, with several pieces run posthumously. According to the New Yorker’s legendary editor, William Shawn, “In the early days, a small company of writers, artists, and editors — E.B. White, James Thurber, Peter Arno, and Katharine White among them — did more to make the magazine what it is than can be measured.”
Key cartoon collection: The Seal in the Bedroom and Other Predicaments (Harper & Bros., 1932). Key anthology (writings & drawings): The Thurber Carnival (Harper & Row, 1945). There have been a number of Thurber biographies. Burton Bernstein’s Thurber (Dodd, Mead, 1975) and Harrison Kinney’s James Thurber: His Life and Times (Henry Holt & Co., 1995) are essential. Website
