Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible mini editions of short stories novellas and essays
from the world's greatest writers designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith.
Dorothy Parker was the most talked-about woman of the decadent 1920s notorious as a
hard-drinking bad girl with a talent for endlessly quotable one-liners. In the stories
collected here she brilliantly captures the spirit of the decadent Jazz Age in New York
exposing both the dazzle and the darkness. This selection includes among others 'The Standard
of Living' 'Mr Durant' and her masterpiece 'Big Blonde'. 'She has fascinated generations with
her wit flair and talent' The New York Review of Books
