Walk in the footsteps of Dorothy Parker and explore her world.
Taking the reader through the New York that inspired, and was in turn inspired by, the formidable Dorothy Parker, the third revised edition of Dorothy Parker's New York includes a thoroughly revised text and never-before-seen archival photographs to illustrate her development as a writer, a wit, and a public persona. The book uncovers her favorite bars and salons as well as her homes and offices, most of which are still intact. With the charting of her colorful career, including the decade she spent as a member of the Algonquin Round Table, as well as her intense private life, readers will find themselves drawn into the lavish New York City of the 1920s and 1930s. Includes a new chapter about the 2020 journey of Dorothy Parker's ashes from Baltimore to New York City.
