Mrs Parker gained her wide reputation as one of the wittiest people in the world through her contributions to such periodicals as "The New Yorker", "Esqire", etc. Her sense of form and ear for speech inflections, her tenderness for lost and unrequited loves, and her scarifying wit combined to lift her work out of the somewhat parochial atmosphere of 1920-50 New York society in which it was nurtured.

ISBN: 1982185791

An expansive and illuminating study of legendary writer Dorothy Parker’s life and legacy in Hollywood from the author of the “fascinating” (Town & Country) Three Martini Afternoons at the Ritz. The glamorous extravagances and devasting lows of her time in Hollywood are revealed as never before in this fresh new biography of Dorothy Parker—from leaving New York City to work on numerous classic screenplays such as the 1937 A Star Is Born to the devastation of alcoholism, a miscarriage, and her husband’s suicide. Parker’s involvement with anti-fascist and anti-racist groups, which led to her ultimate blacklisting, and her early work in the civil rights movement that inspired her to leave her entire estate to the NAACP are also explored as never before. Just as she did with her “deliriously fast-paced and erudite” (Library Journal) dual biography of Anne Sexton and Sylvia Plath, Gail Crowther brings Parker back to life on the page in all her wit, grit, and brilliance.
