Great overall, but over too soon. Elaine Stritch is perfect for reading these - and Dorothy Parker is wonderful. Just wish there was more here for the money.

Too short!

Absolutely loved the reading from Elaine Stritch. I actually purchased this audible because she read it. So wonderful to listen to short stories that I read over and over but this time through a voice that feels like it could actually be Dorthy's.

Parker never disappoints
