Trivia
As a child, he was hit in the eye with an arrow. He lost his sight in that eye, and was troubled by vision problems for years, which kept him out of the military. He was totally blind for the last 26 years of his life, but was able to continue writing by dictating to a secretary. Thurber's memory was so strong he could compose a 2,000-word story in his mind, remember it overnight, and dictate it to his secretary the next day.
