The portable Dorothy Parker / with an introduction by Marion Meade. - 2nd rev. ed. - New York : Penguin Books , 2006. - xxviii, 626 p. ; 22 cm. - Penguin classics deluxe edition .

Originally published: 1944. With new introd.

The great Parker gets the red-carpet treatment as her "Portable" is bumped up to a "Deluxe Edition" (go, Dottie!). The text includes her short fiction, poems, book, and theater reviews, letters, and more. A wonderful extra is the quickie biography in simple drawings adorning the front and rear inside cover flaps. Though probably better known today for her one-liners, Parker should be taken seriously as one of the great writers, female or otherwise. This beautifully executed edition does her justice.
