Dorothy Parker

Dorothy Parker was an American writer, poet, and critic known for her sharp wit and satirical humor. She was a prominent member of the Algonquin Round Table, a group of writers and intellectuals in New York City during the 1920s. Parker's most notable works include her poetry collections "Enough Rope" and "Sunset Gun," as well as her short stories such as "Big Blonde" and "A Telephone Call." Known for her incisive commentary on love, relationships, and society, Parker's writing style was marked by its clever wordplay and dark humor. She made significant contributions to literature through her insightful and candid portrayals of human nature, paving the way for modern feminist writers. Parker's most famous work is perhaps her poem "Resume," which humorously lists various ways in which a person can end their life. Her impact on the literary genre is enduring, as her works continue to be studied and admired for their wit and insight.
