About This Book
Collection of Parker's stories, poems, essays. It's a small size, but wow, is it full of her great writing! Someone stole my copy, and I'm missing her humor and instinct for saying it like it is, or was, during her days with the Algonquin Round Table. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. One of the most quotable of twentieth-century authors, Dorothy Parker has attained a wide-ranging and enthusiastic following. This revised and enlarged edition, with an introduction by Brendan Gill, comprises the original 1944 Portable, as selected and arranged by Dorothy Parker herself and including all her most celebrated poems and stories, along with a selection of her later stories, play reviews, articles, book reviews from Esquire, and the complete Constant Reader, her collected New Yorker book reviews. - Back cover.
