Description
Journalist and short-story writer, Dorothy Parker became drama critic of Vanity Fair (1917--20), and was at her most trenchant in book reviews and stories in the early issues of The New Yorker, a magazine whose character she did much to form. Included are her 1965 will, leaving all her assets to one Martin Luther King, and making her friend, novelist Lillian Hellman, the Executrix of her estate.
