Dorothy Parker more than any of her contemporaries captured the spirit of the Jazz Age in her poetry & prose & The Collected Dorothy Parker

Includes:: an introduction by Brendan Gill in Penguin Modern Classics Dorothy Parker was the most talked-about woman of her day notorious as the hard-drinking bad girl with a talent for stinging repartee & endlessly"able one-liners The decadent 1920s & 1930s in New York were a time of great experiment & daring for women For the rich life seemed a continual party but the excesses took their emotional toll In the bitingly witty poems & stories collected here along with her articles & reviews she brilliantly captures the spirit of the decadent Jazz Age in New York exposing both the dazzle & the darkness But beneath the sharp perceptions & 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 was 'a Sappho who could combine a heartbreak with a wisecrack' Dorothy Parker (1893-1967) was born in West End New Jersey & grew up in New York In 1916 she sold some of her poetry to the editor of Vogue & was subsequently given an editorial position on the magazine She then became drama critic of Vanity Fair & the central figure of the celebrated Algonquin Round Table whose members included George S Kaufman & Harpo Marx Her collections of poems included Enough Rope (1926) & Not So Deep as a Well (1936) & her collections of stories included Here Lies (1939); in addition she collaborated on & wrote screenplays including the Oscar-winning A Star is Born (1937) & Alfred Hitchcock's Saboteur (1942) If you enjoyed The Collected Dorothy Parker you might like Truman Capote's The Complete Stories also available in Penguin Modern Classics' She managed to express her real feelings in stanzas which snap & glitter like a Chanel handbag' Peter Ackroyd The Times
