The Legendary Writers of the "Vicious Circle"
Collected Together For the First Time
"The Algonquin was a refuge for the brightest authors, editors,
critics, columnists, artists, financiers, composers, directors,
producers and actors of the times. The dining-room corner was a hot
bed of raconteurs and conversationalists."
-Harpo Marx
In Jazz Age New York City, no literary lights burned more
brightly than those of the legendary Algonquin Round Table. Now
between covers for the first time is a collection of writing by 16
members of the group, an all-star gathering that took 90 years to
come together. Many of these pieces have never been published
before; plucked from private family collections and "lost" pieces
from obscure periodicals.
● Humor pieces by Robert Benchley, Franklin P. Adams, Heywood
Broun, Frank Sullivan and Donald Ogden Stewart.
● Criticism from Dorothy Parker, George S. Kaufman and Robert E.
Sherwood.
● Short fiction by Laurence Stallings and Pulitzer Prize-winners
Edna Ferber and Margaret Leech.
● Journalism from Alexander Woollcott, Ruth Hale and Deems
Taylor.
● Poetry by Adams, Marc Connelly, Dorothy Parker and John V. A.
Weaver.
With a foreword by Nat Benchley.
