Complete Stories (Penguin Classics);

As this complete collection of her short stories demonstrates, Dorothy Parker€s talents extended far beyond brash one-liners and clever rhymes. Her stories not only bring to life the urban milieu that was her bailiwick but lay bare the uncertainties and disappointments of ordinary people living ordinary lives.
