Over the years since I've posted this, I've had people message me saying the same thing. I'm just happy I was able to find a surviving copy that I was able to convert to digital, otherwise it might have been lost to time.
Thanks for posting. . Good writing often stands out very well when heard spoken out loud, as it does here. Thurber was brilliant and has slipped from the zeitgiest at the moment. in addition to the brilliance of his writing. Yet there was a U.S. TV show based on his work and humour in the 1960's. I wonder whether this could be possible to day.
I remember that show. I don't think we understand subtle humor anymore. It has to be crude and in your face to get enough viewers to stay on the air. Sad.
This is something I still quote in George Roses’ voice! Such a brilliant recording!
Thank you for posting this. I listened to the cassette tape many years ago and was, well, enchanted. I thought I might never hear it read again.
