(1893–1967)
US writer. In New York’s literary society between the two world wars, Dorothy Parker held an unrivalled position as a master of satiric verse, repartee and biting reviews of books and plays. She first became known as a member of the famous Algonquin ‘Round Table’ luncheons of writers and wits. She also produced a number of short stories, especially in the New Yorker. A collection of her poems and stories, The Portable Dorothy Parker, was published in 1944, with a foreword by Somerset Maugham.
