The Secret Life of Walter Mitty- Short story

In the 1939 New Yorker Magazine, there is a short story by James Thurber that was turned into the new movie, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty".

The movie was great. They added the storyline of the love life of a single Walter Mitty, but it was still good. I like the original idea that Walter was married and bossed by his overbearing wife. It gave him a reason to escape, the nagging wife. Read the short story in the The New Yorker.

He was on The New Yorker staff from 1927 to 1933 and remained a consistent contribution thereafter. His cartoons became some of the most popular in America. By 1952, Thurber had to give up drawing because his failing eyesight had developed into full blindness.
