A_Ride_Thurber

James Thurber’s "A Ride With Olympy" first appeared in the New Yorker  of April 30, 1938. It was collected in My World and Welcome to It as well as The Thurber CarnivalThis is an excellent example -- apart from the story's own considerable pleasures — of why Thurber is considered one of the finest humorists of the 20th century. Uniquely among major American literary figures, he became equally well known for his simple, surrealistic drawings and cartoons.  Judith Sachs will read the story of an automobile trip the author takes with his Russian gardener at the wheel.
