Born in 1894, he was accidently blinded in one eye by his  older brother at the age of six. He attended Ohio State, and  worked in Paris for the state department and as a reporter before  heading to New York. In 1927, he met Harold Ross who hired him  to help edit and write "Talk of the Town" sketches for, the New  Yorker. Much of his works are compilations of his stories and  cartoons for the New Yorker and other magazines. For ten points,  identify this author of My Life and Hard Times, The Thirteen  Clocks and My World and Welcome to It, which gave us his most  memorable character, the indomitable Walter Mitty.
