Dorothy Parker Drank Here (A Dorothy Parker Novel)

In a prequel to her appearance in Ellen Meisterâ€™s â€œdeliciousâ€* Farewell, Dorothy Parker, the acid-tongued writer haunts the halls of the Algonquin Hotel with her piercing wit and unexpectedly tender wisdom.
Â
Death cannot quell the feisty spirit of Dorothy Parker.
Â
For more than forty years, Mrs. Parker has been spurning the white light and wandering the famous halls of the Algonquin, drink in hand, searching for someoneâ€”anyoneâ€”who will keep her company on this side of eternity.
Â
She may have found the perfect candidate in Ted Shriver, a brilliant literary voice of the 1970s, silenced early in a promising career by a devastating plagiarism scandal. He is now a recluse hiding away in the old hotel, waiting to die.
Â
But when a young, ambitious TV producer enters the hotel in search of Shriver, she and Dorothy Parker begin to discover a host of secrets surrounding the life of the famous manâ€”and why he seems as anxious to enter the beyond as Mrs. Parker is to avoid it.
