Title: The Poetry and Short Stories of Dorothy Parker by Dorothy Parker ISBN: 0-679-60132-5 Publisher: Modern Library Pub. Date: 30 August, 1994 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $17.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.75 (4 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: 4 books in one, and at a great price
Comment: This book is a compilation of all three of Parker's books of poetry as well as her published book of short stories. As for the price, it can't be beat, especially considering it's in hardcover. Plus, you also don't have to worry about buying 2 or 3 books to make sure you've got all of the poems you wanted.
Dorothy Parker's writing is fantastic anyway, and uses cynical wit to draw the reader into the poem. The reader laughs, but manages to feel empathetic. Her style is unique and doesn't seem outdated, even though most of this was written at least half a century ago. If you've ever wanted to laugh about being broken-hearted, this is the book for you.

Summary: The Poetry and Short Stories of Dorothy Parker
Comment: Great book. Ideal for any Dorothy Parker fan
Rating: 5
Summary: Bitter and Fascinating
Comment: Having been exposed only to the most famous few of Parker's poems and quips, I was surprised to find she had written so much poetry and that, in fact, she was an accomplished short story writer as well. It's her short fiction which has engrossed me. Her dialogues are killingly accurate in their pacing and cadences. Her take on human nature is razor sharp as always. I'm finding her fiction more rewarding than her poetry because it is less self-indulgent and her range of subjects is broader. It's only a shame she never got it together to write more stories or a novel. Most definitely worth exploring if you haven't read her before.
