Receive After Such Pleasures Illustrated By Dorothy Parker Represented In E-Text

most of these short stories appear in "The Portable Dorothy Parker", it was so much fun to reread them.
This is the first collection of Parker's stories to be released, and I can imagine that at the time they were somewhat shocking, given Parker's honesty about the lives of flappers in her time.
All of the stories were interesting, I would recommend this collection to anyone who wished to read a shorter volume of Parker's writing, whereas "The Portable Dorothy Parker" is a very long book with a lot of pages.
Great read! Short Stories, includes:
Horsie, Here We Are, Too Bad, From The Diary of a New York

Lady, The Waltz, Dusk Before Fireworks, The Little Hours, Sentiment, A Young Women in Green Lace, Lady with a Lamp, Glory in Daytime.
