Dorothy Parker 
Enough Rope (Warbler Classics Annotated Edition) [EPUB ebook] 

Support

On its publication in 1926, Enough Rope-Dorothy Parker’s debut collection of poems-was an instant bestseller and established her as the wittiest woman in America. Full of cynical humor, lighthearted wisecracks, and hilarious satire, her poems mercilessly skewer sentimentality and provide rapier sharp commentary on everything from friendship and love to aging and death with sparkling burlesque. This Warbler Classics edition includes an extensive, detailed biographical timeline.

A propos de l’auteur

DOROTHY PARKER was an American short-story writer, poet, screenwriter, and critic and satirist known for her legendary wit. When told that the taciturn former U.S. president Calvin Coolidge had died, she is said to have asked, ‘How can they tell?’ Of Katharine Hepburn’s performance in a 1934 play, Parker said she ‘ran the gamut of emotions from A to B.’ She was one of the founders of the Algonquin Round Table and was long associated with The New Yorker.
