“Portable Dorothy Parker” by Dorothy Parker

Dorothy Parker

“This book is essential for any Parker fan, and an excellent way for new readers to make her acquaintance. It reprints her ella's finest short stories and poems, some later articles, and all of her ella's excellent “Constant Reader” book reviews from the Depression-era glory days of the New Yorker. The poetry, always light, has become brittle, sorry to say. But you've only to pick any story to be reminded that no middle-distance writer was better than Parker at her best.”
