The Portable Dorothy Parker gathers Parker’s best poems, stories, reviews, and wisecracks, offering a sharp portrait of life in twentieth-century New York. Her wit is legendary, but so is her ability to capture loneliness, longing, and the absurdities of everyday life. This deluxe edition includes an introduction and notes that help place Parker’s work in its literary and historical context.
