With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators. From the Trade Paperback edition.

This quote wasn‘t actually in this book (and in fact may not have even been written by Dorothy Parker at all), but it‘s attributed to her, and one of my favorite lines about one of my favorite drinks. I love a Dirty Bombay Sapphire Martini with blue cheese stuffed olives. 🍸
There were a TON of short stories in this compilation. Some were funny, some were sad, many were forgettable, and a few were problematic. But overall I enjoyed it.

Two of my July #Roll100 books are #192025 selections. The third is from the stack of books I inherited from my history-buff dad. Can you guess which is which? 🧐

I've only read a few of these stories, but this was the first book I thought of for #shortstory.

I can only assume that naughtiness is pending here, particularly with Dorothy Parker involved. 😏
