the 1920s. A selection of her reviews for this magazine was published
in 1970 as Constant Reader, the title of her column. She
remained a contributor to The New Yorker for many years;
the magazine also published a number of her short stories. One of her

1929...
...In
addition to her writing, Dorothy Parker was a noted member of the New
York literary scene in 1920s. She formed a group called the Algonquin
Round Table with writer Robert Benchley and playwright Robert
Sherwood. This artistic crowd also included such members as The
New Yorker founder Harold Ross, comedian Harpo Marx, and
playwright Edna Ferber among others. The group took its name from its
hangout – the Algonquin Hotel, but was also also known as the
Vicious Circle for the number of cutting remarks made by its members
and their habit of engaging in sharp-tongued banter.
