“The Admiral on the Wheel” couldn’t have been a clearer public admission of Thurber’s near-blindness.

The critics continued to praise every Thurber book.

The learned Doctor James Thurber as his publishers call him, is at present, I think, the most original and humorous writer living, so it is interesting to see what will become of him.... “Memories of D. H. Lawrence” and “Doc Marlowe” and “The Wood Duck” make me believe that Thurber will have sufficient strength of character and is enough of an artist to refuse to be forcibly made a Twain of, and that he will develop along his own lines as a first-rate writer and not as a funny man or prophet.

—David Garnett, New Statesman and Nation36

What a trial lawyer Mr. Thurber would have made if circumstances had not turned his high talents to writing and drawing! He is one of our great American institutions, and the sooner more people realize it, the better off they will be.

—Stanley Walker, Books Section,
