The Poetry and Short Stories of Dorothy Parker

1994Dorothy Parker

4.9/5

I'm not a big fan of poetry in general--with a few exceptions to that. Dorothy Parker is number one on that list. Not concerned with social etiquette at the time, she spoke her mind, and her writings clearly exhibit this trait. A prime example on her take of relationships:SOCIAL NOTE "Lady, lady, should you meetOne whose ways are all discreet,One who murmurs that his wifeIs the lodestar of his life,One who keeps assuring youThat he never was untrue,Never loved another one . . .Lady, lady, better run!"
