What is the author's style in the story, As Is?

"As Is" is a lighthearted tale meant to amuse. It resembles stories by James Thurber, which often feature men confronted by magical apparitions like unicorns, but without the sense of persecution common to Thurber's work. A feature that elevates "As Is" above the ordinary is its structure, in which the comical collision of magic and the modern world is worked out from opposite directions, blending together at the conclusion.
