The decadent 1920S and 1930s in New York were a time of great experiment and daring for women. For the rich, life seemed a continual party, but the excesses took their emotional toll. With a biting wit and perceptive insight, Dorothy Parker examines the social mores of her day and exposes the darkness beneath the dazzle. Her own life exemplified this duality, for a while she was one of the most talked-about women of her day, she was also known as a masochist whose passion for unhappiness knew no bounds. As philosopher Irwin Edman said, she was a Sappho who could combine a heartbreak with a wisecrack. Her dissection of the jazz age in poetry and prose is collected in this volume along with articles and reviews.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45086909005975,"sku":"9780141182582","price":455.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780141182582.webp?v=1767639705","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-collected-dorothy-parker-9780141182582","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
