Essential Parker: Includes "Big Blonde", "Mrs. Post Enlarges on Etiquette", and "Horsie"

Author, poet, drama critic, book reviewer, 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 widely 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 writing is timeless and as pertinent to today’s society as it was to that of the time she wrote.
