Big Blonde Parker Dorothy (2022)

This mini clothbound edition collects short stories by Dorothy Parker, the most talked-about woman of the decadent 1920s, notorious as a hard-drinking bad girl with a talent for endlessly quotable one-liners. She brilliantly captures the spirit of New York’s Jazz Age, exposing both its dazzle and its darkness. The selection includes, among others, The Standard of Living, Mr Durant and her masterpiece, Big Blonde.
