Further Fables for Our Time, by James Thurber

4.0

Best read in short bursts, this collection of Thurber's fables, some more sincere than others, is certainly worthwhile. I think my favorite part might be how modern these lessons are, even after 50 years. It's helpful to know that he found language in his time to be doubletalk, suspicious of truth. He also found pacifism, anti-nationalism, and individuality challenges that deserved comment. They still do. It is good for me to read the urgent wisdom of the recent past to make the stresses of the current day seem less unique.
