Complete Stories of Dorothy Parker

‘Complete Stories of Dorothy Parker’ is an assortment of work from one of the most quotable of all twentieth-century authors—Dorothy Parker, an American poet, writer, critic, and satirist based in New York; she was best known for her wit and wisecracks. Viewed as brilliant, but known to be an alcoholic and often depressed, Parker's work pushes all buttons at once: humor, anger, love, pity, and everything in between. She wrote with pure, unadulterated passion; her work is timeless and as appropriate to today's society as it was to the time she wrote. Included in this collection are her first published short story, Such a Pretty Little Picture, and her O. Henry Award winner Big Blonde, several other short stories, and, unlike other audio collections, some of her work, including her 1918 New Yorker piece on Tolstoy's play Redemption and a 1927 Vanity Fair review of Emily Post's Etiquette.
