The Penguin Dorothy Parker by Dorothy Parker

A sharply witty collection of short pieces—stories, poems and sketches—that skewers fashionable society and romantic disillusionment with mordant humor and crystalline dialogue; set largely in urban social circles, its characters (often women) confront loneliness, failed relationships and the petty cruelties of polite life, balancing biting satire with sudden, poignant moments of vulnerability.
