Some of the short stories really hit home for me, especially the one dealing with depression. ( ) Dorothy Parker is one of those names I've always heard and based on what I heard about her, I thought I would love her work. I leapt on the chance to borrow this book from my library. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with what I got. While Parker's prose certainly shows a clever mind, I couldn't really get into her characters or story lines much. Also, she wrote many stories as if the reader is hearing only one side of a conversation, which was interesting at first but seemed like an odd choice for so many stories. I much preferred her reviews instead, where her sarcasm and sharp wit really shine. näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

HTML: A variety of work from one of the most quotable of all twentieth-century authorsâ??the inimitable Dorothy Parker Author, poet, screenwriter and outstanding member of the legendary Algonquin Round Table, Dorothy Parker was known for her quick wit, keen observations, and remarkable insight into the human condition. Regarded 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 bewteen...she pulled no punches, writing with pure, unadulterated passion; her work is timeless and as pertinent to today's society as it was to that of the time she wrote. Among the gems 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 Ettiquette.
