About This Item
New York: The Modern Library, 1942. Presumed first printing thus. Hardcover. good. vi, 362, [6] pages. Erasure residue on half-title. Ink note inside front board. Foreword by Franklin P. Adams. The 24 short stories in this volume represent all of Dorothy Parker's short stories excepting a few which she did not wish to retain among her collected prose. Dedicated to Lillian Hellman. Dorothy Parker (née Rothschild; August 22, 1893 - June 7, 1967) was an American poet, writer, critic, and satirist based in New York; she was best known for her wit, wisecracks, and eye for 20th-century urban foibles. Parker rose to acclaim, both for her literary works published in such magazines as The New Yorker and as a founding member of the Algonquin Round Table. Following the breakup of the circle, Parker traveled to Hollywood to pursue screenwriting. Her successes there, including two Academy Award nominations, were curtailed when her involvement in left-wing politics resulted in the being placed on the Hollywood blacklist. Both her literary output and reputation for sharp wit have endured.
