Praise for Dorothy Parker Drank Here

"A great comic complement to novels like The Paris Wife and Loving Frank, and if you're not a fan of Parker's or Meister's already, you soon will be."--Bookreporter.com

"Meister's Dorothy Parker is just as sharp, witty and pleasantly mean as fans would expect. Her humanity shines through, though, along with her humor...Not even death can keep Dorothy Parker down in this sad and funny story."--Kirkus Reviews

"Witty...Replete with the celebrated flapper-journalist's acid wit, sharp tongue and legendary one-liners...[and] illuminates, too, Parker's wisdom about the human condition."--Minneapolis Star-Tribune

"[Meister] does a lovely job of imagining the voice of Dorothy Parker with equal parts wit, heartbreak, and practicality."--Booklist

"A quicky, charming read that will delight Parker fans and stoke the curiosity of those unfamiliar with her great wit."--Library Journal

"A wacky tale with hilarious cameo appearances...liberally sprinkled with Parker's signature acerbic humor, wisecracks, and put-downs."--Publishers Weekly

"The acid-tongued Dorothy Parker is back and haunting the halls of the Algonquin with her piercing wit, audacious voice, and unexpectedly tender wisdom. Heavenly peace? No, thank you. Dorothy Parker would rather wander the famous halls of the Algonquin Hotel, drink in hand, searching for someone, anyone, who will keep her company on this side of eternity. After forty years she thinks she's found the perfect candidate in Ted Shriver, a brilliant literary voice of the 1970s, silenced early in a promisingcareer by a devastating plagiarism scandal. Now a prickly recluse, he hides away in the old hotel slowly dying of cancer, which he refuses to treat. If she can just convince him to sign the infamous guestbook of Percy Coates, Dorothy Parker might be ableto persuade the jaded writer to spurn the white light with her. Ted, however, might be the only person living or dead who's more stubborn than Parker, and he rejects her proposal outright. When a young, ambitious TV producer, Norah Wolfe, enters the hotel in search of Ted Shriver, Parker sees another opportunity to get what she wants. Instead, she and Norah manage to uncover such startling secrets about Ted's past that the future changes for all of them. "--. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
