I appreciate this thorough and unironic biography of Dorothy Parker. The narration is an elegant match for the material. I'm a writer and I hate it when writers are portrayed as vicious drunks but there is a lot of of truth to it. Many are. Contempt for some prominent literary characters is often earned. There is no maudlin sentiment here, however, nor standard shame and blame. The funniest people are sometimes the ones who hurt the most.

I really enjoyed this unvarnished narrative of Dorothy Parker's life story. As a longtime Upper West Side New Yorker, I often think of the buildings she inhabited and streets she trod before I even knew of her existence. It saddens me now to pass what remains of the Algonquin where the Rose room no longer exists.

[@IntriguedLioness]

In her later years, [Dorothy Parker] denigrated the Algonquin Round Table, although it had brought her such early notoriety: "These were no giants. Think who was writing in those days-Lardner, Fitzgerald, Faulkner and Hemingway. Those were the real giants. The Round Table was just a lot of people telling jokes and telling each other how good they were. Just a bunch of loudmouths showing off, saving their gags for days, waiting for a chance to spring them ... There was no truth in anything they said. It was the terrible day of the wisecrack, so there didn't have to be any truth ..." Wiki

Based on my just-now lookup of cohort on Cambridge Dictionary, there are two definitions: 1) a group of people who share a characteristic, usually age: eg 1: About 42% of women in this age cohort have a college degree. eg 2: This year's cohort of graduates will have particular difficulties finding jobs. 2) a person or a group of people who support a particular person, usually a leader: eg 1: Perhaps he should have considered warning his cohort away from his investments.

Late in life, a drunk Dorothy at parties would go on in DETAIL about her abortion of Charles McacArthurs son and what a beautiful little boy he was. She would weep and go into unbearable detail about the abortion and how BEAUTIFUL the dead baby was - as beautiful as Charlie was. Alan steadied her for much of her life but MacCarthy was the total passion of her life. She killed the only baby she would ever have in this life and it was 10 times worse because it was HIS son. I personally believe that much of Dotty's depression and destructiveness can be traced back to this abortion. I've known so many women, even in my family who have willfully killed the only child they would ever have because 'it wasn't convenient'.
