90 Classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books

‘What can you say, when a man asks you to dance with him? I most certainly will not dance with you. Ill see you in hell first. Why, thank you, Id like to awfully, but Im having labor pains.’

Acerbic, pithy and vibrant, Dorothy Parkers writings capture the dizzying decadence of Jazz Age New York. Parker, however, refuses to be swept along: she gleefully deconstructs its hypocrisy, prejudice and taboos with style and precision.
