The Portable Dorothy Parker by Dorothy ParkerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
What a delight. And to think I found this in the Free bin of 2nd and Charles!
I will list my favorite poems and short stories below, but I should mention that she really seemed to shine in her theater and book reviews. I doubt anyone else could be that snarky while heaping that much praise all at the same time, and you can tell she loved every minute of it.
I recommend you keep this on your bedside table and read a little bit now and then. At least, that's what I ended up doing, and it never disappointed.
