Dorothy Parker: A Bio-Bibliography

Prose and fiction writer, journalist, poet and well-known wit, Dorothy Parker had something to say about virtually all her contemporaries among the literati - and they returned the favour in full measure. This primary and secondary bibliography covers the complete canon and its critical reaction, with annotations complemented by a biographical sketch. The book also includes three personal views of Parker by Joseph Bryan III, Richard Lauterbach and Wyatt Cooper. The evidence suggests that Parker should be considered a major figure in American letters, not only as someone frequently dubbed America’s wittiest woman , who happened to write.
