The Portable Dorothy Parker
This volume reprints her finest short stories and
poems, some later articles, and all of her "Constant Reader" book reviews from
the Depression-era glory days of the New Yorker. Ogden Nash once said, "To say
that Mrs. Parker writes well is as fatuous, I am afraid, as proclaiming that Cellini was
clever with his hands . . . Mrs. Parker has an eye for people, an ear for language, and a
feeling for the little things of life that are so immensely a part of the process of
living." |
