About this ebook
This classic collection of light verse from the beloved American satirist and poet contains some of her most famous, caustically funny rhymes.
A founding member of the Algonquin Round Table, Dorothy Parker helped define the literary voice of her generation. Her urbane sense of irony left no platitude un-skewered, especially when it came to matters of the heart.
First published in 1926, Enough Rope is a collection of short, humorous poems that are quintessential Parker: elegantly sardonic, disarmingly deadpan, and unforgettably funny.Dorothy Parker
Dorothy Parker was an American poet, writer, critic, and satirist best known for her wisecracks and eye for twentieth-century urban foibles. She garnered early acclaim for her literary works published in magazines such as the New Yorker and as a founding member of the Algonquin Round Table. Following the breakup of the group, Parker traveled to Hollywood to pursue screenwriting, earning two Academy Award nominations. However, this success was curtailed when Parker’s involvement in left-wing politics resulted in her being blacklisted. Though she notoriously deplored her reputation as a "wisecracker," her reputation for sharp wit has endured.
