description: Three brilliant tales by a master storyteller: 'Big Blonde', 'The Sexes'and 'Dusk Before Fireworks'.W. Somerset Maugham on Parker: 'Dorothy Parker has a wonderfully delicate ear for human speech .... Her style is easy without being slipshod and cultivated without affectation. It is a perfect instrument for the display of her many-sided humour, her irony, her sarcasm, her tenderness, her pathos.'
