The Collected Dorothy Parker by Dorothy Parker
5.0
Really enjoyed this.
Bought this book in college. Some of Mrs. Parkers best stories and poems are collected here - Frustration, Lullaby, LoveSong and Resume, all the greats! Dorothy Parker (nee Rothschild) was a witty writer and a woman of excess. Her star rose in the heady 1920's when she hung out with other writers, actors and critics of the New York set known as the Algonquin Round Table.
You've got to take your time with this book, I think most people would enjoy the poetry, many of her stories are autobiographical and some of her play and book reviews are absolutely scathing. A great collection, interesting lady and gifted writer.
