Part of the point is the emasculated nature of the modern American man. That said - I agree - anyone looking to read Thurber should skip his fiction and go right to "My Life and Hard Times" his absolutely hilarious autobiography about life growing up in Ohio around the turn of the century: http://www.sanjuan.edu/webpages/rvolzer/files/My%20Life%20and%20Hard%20Times.pdf http://www.sanjuan.edu/webpages/rvolzer/files/My%20Life%20an... The stories in it are much better than anything he wrote as fiction. University Days is wonderful. All of them are wonderful!
