Such a Pretty Little Picture and Other Stories

Bag om Such a Pretty Little Picture and Other Stories

Dorothy Parker's literary prowess reveals a razor-sharp wit in this original collection of twelve short stories, which were published between 1922 and 1927 in the top literary magazines of the day, including Smart Set, The New Yorker, and The New Republic. Superbly crafted and rich with keen insights into human nature, these stories illuminate the absurdities within relationships between men and women, the politics of patriarchy and power, the subordination of women, and observations of class and race. An excellent sampling of Parker's acerbity rooted in an intimate realism and subtle feminism, this collection of early works features some of Parker's best-known tales, including "Arrangement in Black and White," "Mr. Durant," "Such a Pretty Little Picture," and "The Last Tea."
