The Collected Dorothy Parker

Dorothy Parker: the queen of the cutting remark, the mistress of the martini-soaked one-liner, and quite possibly the wittiest writer who ever lived. This Penguin collection brings together her razor-sharp short stories, devastating poetry, and those legendary reviews that could make or break a Broadway show. Her humour is dark, her observations are brutal, and her prose sparkles like broken glass in champagne. Perfect for anyone who appreciates wit with a wicked edge, lovers of the Jazz Age, and readers who like their classics served bone-dry.
