Ellen Meister is reading from chapter one of her novel Farewell Dorothy Parker, coming in February under the Putnam imprint. Marion Meade, editor of the Portable Dorothy Parker is in the foreground. Both authors proved to be walking encyclopedias of Parkeriana when the session was opened up for questions.  It was an awesome evening on sacred ground. Hats off to Penguin for putting this event together.
