The Portable Dorothy Parker
The Portable Dorothy Parker

Book Favorite

"The way that Dorothy Parker navigates her own darkness with wit, and her commentary on what it was like to be a woman in America in the 1920s is wildly compelling. The amazing thing about this book is you can open to any page and read a great short story. Parker makes for a wonderful author to read aloud to your lover."

So this was really short. But I get the basics of the story;

1. Her mum was killed by a guy with a scar

2. She has nightmares pretty much every night after seeing the above incident

3. She's being sent back to her grandpa and the house she used to spend her summers in

4. She's going to miss her brother.

Amanda told me about this on here so I thought I'd check it out.

It's my first book by the author and it was okay, though I felt we missed out on a lot of information like how old everyone was, how long they'd known each other etc.

For such a short story, it was good but not exactly my sort of thing.

"Did you ever see this movie Headhunters? It’s an insane chase movie that goes very, very, very dark. I just love one of the central driving forces behind the main character is just that he thinks he’s too short. [laughs] I love it when a story, when you really break down someone’s essence, and that is their fatal flaw. It’s just so simple."

Book Favorite

"I’m currently working through this one story at a time A friend who works in publishing introduced me to Monterroso’s writing because I have often called some of my work fables, and Monterroso’s short stories feel like that, also. But they are also very unsettling, with a Kafak-esque sheen to them, like black little pearls that are beautiful but scare you."

On a whim and a hope, Evie signs up to learn how to train dogs, but the school she's going to is anything but a normal kennel. Maybe that's for the best, because nothing has been normal in Evie's short life so far.

Slightly odd Comedy Thriller
A decent short series, just 8 episodes around 20-25 minutes long each. I thought it was a general Thriller to start with but halfway way through it is more of a parody of other recent Thriller Films and series. Decent story although the ending was rather silly, if you like Murder Mysteries you should enjoy it.
