4 Ungluers have Faved this Work
Dorothy Parker was the most - talked - about woman of her day, notorious as the hard - drinking bad girl with a talent for stinging repartee and endlessly quotable one - liners. In the bitingly witty poems and stories collected here, along with her articles and reviews, she brilliantly captures the spirit of the decadent Jazz Age in New York, exposing both the dazzle and the darkness. But beneath the sharp perceptions and acidic humour, much of her work poignantly expresses the deep vulnerability of a troubled, self - destructive woman who, in the words of philosopher Irwin Edman, 'could combine a heartbreak with a wisecrack'.
