Download Selected Readings from The Portable Dorothy Parker AudioBook Free
When it comes to expressing the pleasure and pain of being only a touch too smart to be happy, Dorothy Parker continues to be the champion, in the end these years. Along with Robert Benchley, Alexander Woollcott, and all of those other Algonquin Round Table, she dominated American popular literature in the 1920s and 1930s. This collection of more than thirty short stories and poems is vital for just about any Parker fan and an excellent way for new readers to help make the acquaintance of one of the twentieth century's most quotable authors, whose memorable lines include: "She runs the gamut of feelings from A to B," "This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force," and "Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses."
