A Journey into Dorothy Parkers New
York (ArtPlace series) by Kevin C.
Fitzpatrick
A Seminal Look At The Woman And The City
Taking the reader through the New York that inspired, and was in turn
inspired by, the formidable Mrs. Parker, this guide uses rarely seen
archival photographs from her life to illustrate Dorothy Parkers
development as a writer, a formidable wit, and a public persona. Her
favorite bars and salons as well as her homes and offices, most of which
are still intact, are uncovered. With the charting of her colorful career,
including the decade she spent as a member of the Round Table, as well
as her intense private life, readers will find themselves drawn into the
lavish New York City of the 1920s and 30s.

Personal Review: A Journey into Dorothy Parkers New York
(ArtPlace series) by Kevin C. Fitzpatrick
I love Dorothy Parker, New York, and the 20's, 30's and 40's to include the
clothes, music, theatre, books, personalities - the whole culture of that era.
This book touches so much of that. It's the portal for stepping back 70-90
years - and for becoming addicted to celebrating all things DP. You can
take your own tour with this book (either actual or virtual) and feel the
energy and excitement of New York, see buildings that no longer exist or
now have different facades or purposes. You can even pop into a pub
along the way and fully develop that hint of whisky or gin that you think you
smell in the alleyways - or on the pages.
I have purchased copies of this book as gifts to friends and loaned my
copy out several times because it never fails to prompt further interest in
Dorothy Parker, the Vicious Circle, and New York in general. I've found
that A Journey Into Dorothy Parker's New York is equally enjoyed by
friends you might say are more academically inclined as well as those who
are more experientially motivated.
