dorothy parKer
Dorothy Parker was born in Long Branch, New Jersey, in 1893 and grew up in
New York, attending a Catholic convent school, and later Miss Dana’s School
in Morristown, New Jersey. In 1916 she sold some of her poetry to the editor of
Vogue, and was subsequently given an editorial position on the magazine, writing
captions for fashion photographs and drawings. She then became drama critic
of Vanity Fair and the central figure of the celebrated Algonquin Round Table.
Famous for her spoken wit and closely associated with modern urbane humor,
she showed the same trenchant commentary and concentration of judgments in
her book reviews for the New Yorker and Esquire and in her poems and sketches.
