READ THIS: The Portable Dorothy Parker, by Dorothy Parker
Parker used to bust out her word-swords on everyone all over the place all the time and it was awesome. She would corral her smart, hilarious friends to meet for lunch every day so they could talk in a smart, hilarious way about the world (“throwing shade,” in fancy 1920s parlance) and then get their bon mots printed in the newspappies.
AND THEN…watch Gilmore Girls, a show in which sparkling banter flies at the speed of light.
--Marshal Zeringue
