Dorothy Parker was a prominent American writer, poet, and critic whose sharp wit and incisive commentary made her a defining voice of early 20th-century American literature. Emerging as a leading figure of the Algonquin Round Table, Parker contributed prolifically to publications such as The New Yorker and Vanity Fair, where her essays, reviews, and poems gained widespread acclaim. Sunset Gun (1928) is a seminal collection of poetry exploring themes of romantic disillusionment, societal expectations, and feminine identity. "I can imagine no more intoxicating experience than to be reading Dorothy Parker for the first time" (Marion Sturges-Jones, Philadelphia Record).
