Thurber James
Let Your Mind Alone! And Other More or Less Inspirational Pieces
( Dec. 29, 2019)
The first half of this book dissects (with snarky glee) Depression-era self-help books. Oddly enough, self-help books haven't really changed all that much in 70-plus years. There are none so pompous as those who would tell others how to behave, and Thurber skewers them deliciously.
The second half of the book contains a collection of essays, with some short fiction and some commentary, and includes Thurber's memories of the time he spent in France during and after the first World War.
