- Synopsis
- The sixty-eight stories in this collection were chosen from those appearing in The New Yorker during its first fifteen and a half years of publication--February 1925, to September, 1940. In making the selection, it was often difficult to decide where fiction began and fact left off. For the purposes of this anthology, reminiscence was ruled out--even the heightened and often fictionalized reminiscence of the Clarence Day "Father" stories, of Thurber's "My Life and Hard Times," of Joseph Mitchell's Black Ankle County stories, of Bemelmans, Mencken, and Ruth McKenney-- together with the personal sorrows of day-by-day life as reported by many other writers. Parable, prophecy, fable, fantasy, satire, burlesque, parody, nonsense tales, and, with a few exceptions, stories from series were also omitted.
