Dorothy Parker, at her craft

…

Known within the New York City literary circuit (and further flung)

for her scathing wit, sharp remarks and barbed retorts-

Admired by friends and critics alike, her writings/comments were

provocative, never sugar coated, sometimes bitter to swallow

and worth a moment to ponder.
