The decadent 1920S and 1930s in New York were a time of great experiment and daring for women. For the rich, life seemed a continual party, but the excesses took their emotional toll. 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 dissection of the jazz age in poetry and prose is collected in this volume along with articles and reviews.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eNew | Mint Condition | Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon | Guaranteed packaging | No quibbles returns\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51533899989280,"sku":"NEW014118258X","price":24.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71jR9IqM9hL.jpg?v=1777354005","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-collected-dorothy-parker-014118258x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
