«Una dama neoyorquina» is the short story collection by writer Dorothy Parker, published by Ediciones B in paperback (281 pages, in Spanish).
Dorothy Parker's stories portray with irony and lucidity women in interwar New York: loneliness, social life, sentimental expectations and small daily defeats. The author alternates sarcasm and tenderness in vignettes such as two office workers dreaming of a million dollars or a high-society lady determined to do something for her country.
Translation by Celia Filipetto. Includes sixteen stories, among them «El vals», «Nivel de vida» and «Soldados de la República».
For readers of short fiction who appreciate irony and social criticism in American literature.
Dorothy Parker was an American poet, literary critic and writer of fiction. Based in New York, she was known for her caustic wisecracks, and eye for 20th-century urban foibles.
