With a biting wit and perceptive insight, Dorothy Parker examines the social mores of her day and exposes the darkness beneath the dazzle. Her own life exemplified this duality, for a while she was one of the most talked-about women of her day, she was also known as a "masochist whose passion for unhappiness knew no bounds". As philosopher Irwin Edman said, she was "a Sappho who could combine a heartbreak with a wisecrack".
Her brilliant dissection of the Jazz Age in poetry and prose is collected in this volume along with articles and reviews. It is, in short, the definitive Dorothy Parker.
