Thurber Thursday
This November marks the 60th anniversary of Thurber’s passing.
TIME magazine (Thurber was a Time cover subject in 1951, shown above) noted his passing with this obit. Memorable line: [Thurber] “was an aphorist of sad truths who mourned his times with laughter.”
The New York Times put Thurber on Page One (November 3, 1961):
And The New Yorker ran E.B. White’s* Thurber obit on its final editorial page in the issue of November 11, 1961. I’m unable to show the piece due to copyright considerations. You can find it online here.
*According to Thurber biographer Harrison Kinney, The New Yorker Thurber obituary was “written in two parts by [William] Shawn and [E.B.]White…” [James Thurber: His Life And Times, p.1075].
