Question: Between James Thurber and Terry Brooks who had a more diverse career as a writer?
Context: Terence Dean "Terry" Brooks (born January 8, 1944) is an American writer of fantasy fiction.  He writes mainly epic fantasy, and has also written two movie novelizations.  He has written 23 "New York Times" bestsellers during his writing career, and has over 21 million copies of his books in print.  He is one of the biggest-selling living fantasy writers. James Grover Thurber (December 8, 1894 – November 2, 1961) was an American cartoonist, author, humorist, journalist, playwright, and celebrated wit.  He was best known for his cartoons and short stories published mainly in "The New Yorker" magazine, such as "The Catbird Seat," and collected in his numerous books.  He was one of the most popular humorists of his time, as he celebrated the comic frustrations and eccentricities of ordinary people.  He wrote the Broadway comedy "The Male Animal" in collaboration with his college friend Elliott Nugent; it was later adapted into a film starring Henry Fonda and Olivia de Havilland.  His short story "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" has been adapted for film twice, once in 1947 and again in 2013. "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" (1939) is a short story by James Thurber.  The most famous of Thurber's stories, it first appeared in "The New Yorker" on March 18, 1939, and was first collected in his book "My World and Welcome to It" (Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1942).  It has since been reprinted in "James Thurber: Writings and Drawings" (The Library of America, 1996, ISBN  ), is available on-line on the "New Yorker" website, and is one of the most anthologized short stories in American literature.  The story is considered one of Thurber's "acknowledged masterpieces".  It was made into a 1947 movie of the same name, with Danny Kaye in the title role, though the movie is very different from the original story.  It was also adapted into a 2013 film, which is again very different from the original. The Thurber Prize for American Humor, named after American humorist James Thurber, recognizes outstanding contributions in humor writing.  The prize is given out by the Thurber House.  It was first awarded irregularly, but since 2004 has been bestowed annually.  In 2015, the finalists were for the first time, all women. Don Nigro is an American playwright; his plays "Anima Mundi" and "The Dark Sonnets of the Lady" have both been nominated for the National Repertory Theatre Foundation's National Play Award.

A Thurber Carnival is a revue by James Thurber, adapted by the author from his stories, cartoons and casuals (humorous short pieces), nearly all of which originally appeared in "The New Yorker".

It closed on November 26, 1960.  The title is similar to that of "The Thurber Carnival" (1945), Thurber's most successful collection of stories and drawings.
