An expansive, illuminating, and âwelcome addition to understandâ (Shelf Awareness) the legendary writer Dorothy Parker, this unique biography explores her life and legacy in Hollywoodâfrom the author of the âfascinatingâ (Town & Country) Three Martini Afternoons at the Ritz.
The glamorous extravagances and devasting lows of her time in Hollywood are revealed as never before in this âambitious, thoughtfully researchedâ (Kirkus Reviews) biography of Dorothy Parkerâfrom leaving New York City to work on numerous classic screenplays such as the 1937 A Star Is Born to the devastation of alcoholism, a miscarriage, and her husbandâs suicide. Parkerâs involvement with anti-fascist and anti-racist groups, which led to her ultimate blacklisting, and her early work in the civil rights movement that inspired her to leave her entire estate to the NAACP are also explored as never before.
âBriskly detailed, fluently insightful, and dramatically reorientingâ (Booklist, starred review), Dorothy Parker in Hollywood brings the iconic writer back to life on the page in all her wit, grit, and brilliance.
