      Are you dyslexic or have some other issue? If you can read without issue, read this story and also read Thurber's "The Catbird Seat." That's a good story and I don't have audio of it.

    As a long-time Thurber fan, I say that "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" is the finest example of American literary prose. I have to say that my favorite Thurber short story is The New Yorker parody profile, "Something To Say", about the incandescent life of Elliott Vereker, an author so brilliant, so controversial that he didn't actually have to write anything. I have read The New Yorker for many years, and, whenever I come across a profile, I always stop and chuckle. I recommend it.

    Walter Mitty escapes his wife and the real world to one of his imagination.

      Walter Mitty, in real life, is a mild-mannered, ineffectual man, but in his imagination, he's a Captain, a surgeon, etc.

    No - Walter is not dreaming - he is 'personal mythmaking' - creating personal myths which transcend (as in trump) the Collective myths of modern life which seek to impose a series of otherwise impenetrable prison cells around his authentic sense of self-identity. In some societies - Walter would be considered a shaman - a visionary - a prophet.

    Nice reading of teh marvelous story. Hey, Hollywood- this is a 10-15 minute read, so when you cash in on the Mitty name you are adding in an hour and a half of filler. If your movie is good, give it a different title..or do you fear a monetary loss in your pocketa?
