Stuart Y. Silverstain presents and signs Not Much Fun: The Lost Poems of Dorothy Parker.

 

During the early years of her career, while struggling to "keep body and soul apart" (as she ruefully put it later), Dorothy Parker wrote more than three hundred poems and verses for a variety of popular magazines and newspapers....Eclectic and exuberant, these 122 once-forgotten gems display Parker's distinctive wit, irony, and precision....With an authoritative, immensely entertaining, and critically acclaimed introduction by Stuart Y. Silverstein, Not Much Fun is an essential addition to the Dorothy Parker library and a welcome gift to her many admirers and devoted fans. (Scribner)
