Between 1926 and 1933 she collected most of these pieces in three volumes of poetry: \u003ci\u003eEnough Rope, Sunset Gun, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDeath and Taxes.\u003c\/i\u003e The remaining poems and verses from America's most renowned cynic make up this volume. Eclectic and exuberant, these 122 once-forgotten gems display Parker's distinctive wit, irony, and precision, as she dissects early-twentieth-century American urban life and gleefully skewers a rich array of targets that range from personal foible to popular culture. With an authoritative, immensely entertaining, and critically acclaimed introduction by Stuart Y. Silverstein, \u003ci\u003eNot Much Fun\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential addition to the Dorothy Parker library and a welcome gift to her many admirers and devoted fans\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Scribner","offers":[{"title":"Not Much Fun: The Lost Poems of Dorothy Parker (Original) | Stuart Y Silverstein | Paperback | 9780743211482 | Used: Very Good | Poetry 1637119","offer_id":48864297615512,"sku":"1637119","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/515zakPfkqL.jpg?v=1775852026","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/not-much-fun-the-lost-poems-of-dorothy-parker-original","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
