Dorothy Parker's quips and light verse have become part of the American literary landscape, but, as this collection of her complete short stories demonstrates, Parker's talents extended far beyond brash one-liners and clever rhymes. This collection features Parker's best-known tales ("Big Blonde," "A Telephone Call," and "The Lovely Leave" among them), as well as thirteen stories never previously collected. There is also a selection of sketches, including "A Dinner Party Anthology" and "Men I'm Not Married To," in which Parker sardonically reflects on some familiar social and emotional realities.Parker, Dorothy is the author of 'Complete Stories', published 2002 under ISBN 9780142437216 and ISBN 0142437212.
