The Years With Ross Biography Paperback Book by James Thurber Ballantine 1972

Erratic, morose, nearly-illiterate, suspicious, badtempered, Harold Ross was nevertheless a genius as an editor, the subject of a thousand hilarious anecdotes, the object of a thousand awestruck legends.

Thurber has got Ross on paper, in one of the most informal, entertaining and genuinely witty biographies of our time.

The world of the New Yorker was the world of American literature, of Hemingway, O'Hara, Benchley, Parker, Capote, Salinger and other greats. 

The world of the New Yorker was, for more than two wacky, irrepressible decades, the world of Ross.
