My Take
Dorothy Parker is my kind of dangerous wit. A New Jersey native who became the sharp center of New York's Algonquin Round Table, she could dismantle a room with a single line. That kind of edge isn't cleverness alone, it's nerve, and for a woman born in 1893 to be so unapologetically cutting took real spine. Poet, critic, screenwriter, and an O. Henry Award winner besides, she was loved for her bite rather than her warmth, which is precisely what makes her irresistible to me. Drop her into today's internet and she'd be a legend by lunchtime.
