| A collection of three short stories by the inimitable poet and author of Enough Rope. With her biting wit and deep insight into human nature, Dorothy Parker expertly captured the vanities, longings, and decadence of the Roaring Twenties. This volume collects three of her most beloved short stories, including the “The Sexes,” “Dusk Before Fireworks,” and “Big Blonde.” The title story presents an intimate portrait of Hazel Morse, a former dress model who spent her youth enjoying the attention of men. She now looks back at that time years later as her charms begin to fade. All three stories explore how—in an age of liberation, freedom, and adventure—a woman’s fate often remained in men’s hands. |
