Dorothy Parker

The portable Dorothy Parker

Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world's greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. Dorothy Parker was the most talked-about woman of the decadent 1920s, notorious as a hard-drinking bad girl with a talent for endlessly quotable one-liners. In the stories collected here, she brilliantly captures the spirit of the decadent Jazz Age in New York, exposing both the dazzle and the darkness. This selection includes among others 'The Standard of Living', 'Mr Durant' and her masterpiece, 'Big Blonde'. 'She has fascinated generations with her wit, flair and talent' The New York Review of Books

Big Blonde

An irresistible hardcover collection of the famous humorist’s poems that range from lighthearted satire to gleeful dark comedy

One of the Jazz Age’s most beloved poets, Dorothy Parker earned her reputation as the wittiest woman in America with her popular light verse, which was regularly published in Vanity Fair, Life, and The New Yorker. Her debut poetry collection, Enough Rope, was a runaway bestseller in 1926, and she followed it up in 1928 with the equally delightful collection Sunset Gun.

Enough Rope

In Men I’m not Married To Dorothy Parker’s famous wit is on full display as she describes nine men that she did not marry. Some of the descriptions are long and involved others are but a single line such as “Lloyd wears washable neckties.” Delightful and funny!

Men I'm Not Married To

Parker's first book of light, witty, and sometimes cynical verse was a best-seller when it appeared in 1926.

Poems

This classic collection of light verse from the beloved American satirist and poet contains some of her most famous, caustically funny rhymes. A founding member of the Algonquin Round Table, Dorothy Parker helped define the literary voice of her generation. Her urbane sense of irony left no platitude un-skewered, especially when it came to matters of the heart. First published in 1926, Enough Rope is a collection of short, humorous poems that are quintessential Parker: elegantly sardonic, disarmingly deadpan, and unforgettably funny.
