🔒 "Constant Reader" Weighs In!

Subscriber-only episode Send us a text In this week’s bonus episode, Amy draws a throughline between the 1970s-era Esquire magazine writing of Nora Ephron and the sharp-witted book reviews of Dorothy Parker. A recent McNally Editions collection of these reviews called Constant Reader: The New Yorker 1927-28 provides a perfect opportunity to explore Parker’s opinions on some lost ladies of lit, from Zona Gale and Elinor Glyn to Fannie Hurst and Elinor Wylie. Which women earned Parker’s praise and which drew her disdain? Listen to find out — (and be prepared to laugh!)
