Books by Dorothy Parker

Dorothy Parker was born in West End, New Jersey, in 1893. Famous for her spoken wit, she showed the same trenchant commentary in her book reviews for The New Yorker and Esquire and in her poems and sketches. Her collection of poems included Not So Deep as a Well and Enough Rope, which became a bestseller; and her collections of stories included Here Lies. She also collaborated with Elmer Rice on a play, Close Harmony and with Arnaud d'Usseau on the play the Ladies of the Corridor. Dorothy Parker died in 1967. Arnaud d'Usseau (1916-1990) was a notable playwright, screenwriter, and short story writer
