Sophisticated readers of any age
If you love wit, if you appreciate a well turned phrase, and can enjoy the writing of a women who was so obviously before her time, then this is for you. Who can't love verse such as "Guns aren't lawful/Nooses give/Gas smells awful/You might as well live"! My sentiments exactly! Read and enjoy!

A good collection of Dorothy Parker's short stories; however, I was reminded of her focus on love gone wrong. She does it well, mind you... but it can get a little tedious after a while. I think I like her "monologues" the best - "The Waltz" still makes me giggle a bit.

I read the portuguese translation of this book, but loved it anyway.
I had only read "the phonecall" which I enjoyed even more now.
Delightful, "too bad" is one of my favorite stories.
