Back of DJ titled "The Critics say of James Thurber, and begins "I regard Thurber as Ohio's gift to the oppressed and downtrodden of all nations and I am just going to continue to be glad that he is around, and the moral of that is: 'Always look a gift horse in the face, especially if Thurber threw it." - Frank Sullivan.... "A JOYCE IN falseface, Mr. Thurber strews hilarious pages with characters who take their subconsciouses out on benders. There's beautiful method in this madness." - Charles Poore, N.Y. Times
