IS SEX NECESSARY?

The first book of prose published by either Is Sex Necessary? combines the humor and genius of both authors to examine those great mysteries of life -- romance, love, and marriage.

James Thurber (1894-1961) created some thirty volumes of humor, fiction, children's books, cartoons, and essays in just about as many years. A founding member of The New Yorker staff, Thurber wrote and illustrated such enduring books as The Thurber Carnival and My Life and Hard Times, which have appeared in countless editions and dozens of languages throughout the world.
