James Thurber (1894-1961) és un dels millors narradors nord-americans. Gràcies al seu amic E. B. White va entrar a treballar al The New Yorker, on es va convertir en un dels noms clau de la mítica publicació gràcies als seus articles i a les seves característiques il·lustracions. Es va moure al cercle més exquisit de la literatura nord-americana, juntament amb autors com Truman Capote o Dorothy Parker i va rebutjar el títol de doctor honoris causa per la Universitat d'Ohio com a protesta per la caça de bruixes del senador Mc Carthy. Una de les seves contribucions més grans a la literatura són els seus relats fantàstics. Escrits amb un estil rítmic i elegant, desprenen l'humor intel·ligent que caracteriza tota l'obra de Thurber. Como ell mateix va dir: “El riure no s'ha d'eliminar d'enlloc, ja que ho millora tot”.
