		Parker's stories can be separated in 2 or 3 groups; the cleverly sarcastic ones (most of the stories I believe), the third-person narrative ones (much rarer) with a rather grave tone (quite emotionally loaded), and the third group I do not remember because I read this book a while ago.
		Because Parker has a way to present us the unnice sides of humans in such a way that you feel it like a personal attack (not an attack from the author to you, but one from the characters to another character, and that will make you want to break something).
		Dorothy Parker's writing is fantastic anyway, and uses cynical wit to draw the reader into the poem.

	Dorothy Rothschild Parker
		In 1917, she married Edwin Pond Parker II; it was a marriage doomed to years of alcohol-soaked pain and eventual dissolution.
		Parker, Benchley, and Robert Sherwood (also of Vanity Fair) lunched regularly at the Algonquin Hotel with a small group of self-publicizing writers eager to create a legend out of their own banter, bons mots, insults, and decrees.
		Parker's stories, like her poetry, resonate with heartache and disenchantment, and reflect her obsessions: incessant alcohol consumption, spoiled romance, social injustice, and the follies of the rich.

		The cheques for Parker's came first from Vogue, then from Vanity Fair, where, often under pseudonym of Constant Reader, she became renowned for her damning reviews of plays and books - Sinclair Lewis, in particular, came in for brutal drubbings.
		She was the only woman of this circle (Edna Ferber would pop in, but even she was too gushy for Parker) and was often stigamtised for wanting to be a man. She later confessed that if the age had demanded cuteness, she would have been cute.

	Gothamist: Theater This Week: Dorothy Parker, Dating, and Current Events
		Gothamist caught Karen Mason bringing Dorothy Parker back from the dead in You Might As Well Live, a solo performance comprised almost entirely of Parker’s words set to music (Norman Mathews did the music and adaptation).
		Still, the atmosphere evoked by the set is pleasingly noirish, and while Mason’s voice has evidently not been roughed up the way Parker’s must have been, given the quantities of alcohol and cigarettes Parker used, that’s probably a good thing – it’s lovely to listen to her give life to Parker’s witticisms.
