Dorothy Parker

1893-08-22 — 1967-06-07 · West End

Dorothy Parker was an American poet, short story writer, critic, and satirist, celebrated for her sharp wit and cynical observations. A founding member of the Algonquin Round Table, she became a prominent voice in early 20th-century American literature. Her work, often characterized by its brevity and poignant irony, explored themes of love, loss, and societal hypocrisy, cementing her reputation as a master of the epigram and a keen social commentator.
