Ebook About "That is the thing about New York," wrote Dorothy Parker in 1928. "It is always a little more than you had hoped for. Each day, there, is so definitely a new day." Now you can journey back there, in time, to a grand city teeming with hidden bars, luxurious movie palaces, and dazzling skyscrapers. In these places, Dorothy Parker and her cohorts in the Vicious Circle at the infamous Algonquin Round Table sharpened their wit, polished their writing, and captured the energy and elegance of the time. Robert Benchley, Parker’s best friend, became the first managing editor of Vanity Fair before Irving Berlin spotted him onstage in a Vicious Circle revue and helped launch his acting career. Edna Ferber, an occasional member of the group, wrote the Pulitzer-winning bestseller So Big as well as Show Boat and Cimarron. Jane Grant pressed her first husband, Harold Ross, into starting The New Yorker. Neysa McMein, reputedly “rode elephants in circus parades and dashed from her studio to follow passing fire engines.” Dorothy Parker wrote for Vanity Fair and Vogue before ascending the throne as queen of the Round Table, earning everlasting fame (but rather less fortune) for her award-winning short stories and unforgettable poems. Alexander Woollcott, the centerpiece of the group, worked as drama critic for the Times and the World, wrote profiles of his friends for The New Yorker, and lives on today as Sheridan Whiteside in The Man Who Came to Dinner. Explore their favorite salons and saloons, their homes and offices (most still standing), while learning about their colorful careers and private lives. Packed with archival photos, drawings, and other images--including never-before-published material--this illustrated historical guide includes current information on all locations. Use it to retrace the footsteps of the Algonquin Round Table, and you’ll discover that the golden age of Gotham still surrounds us.Book The Algonquin Round Table New York: A Historical Guide Review :
It seems my entire life has been connected to the Algonquin Round Table. When I first discovered Harpo Marx, as a youngster, it led me to his autobiography, Harpo Speaks,where I then learned about the Round Table. Alexander Woollcott, George S. Kaufman, Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley, Franklin P. Adams, Edna Ferber, Heywood Broun, and all the rest who made up the Vicious Circle, became an obsession to me and I had to learn about their lives and, more importantly, their work.Kevin Fitzpatrick has done a remarkable job with this book, putting the group into a historical perspective, and giving the reader a terrific overview of what made the Algonquin Round Table unique and worthy of your time. They were the leading writers and critics of the 1920's, who really did enjoy one another's company, meeting practically every day for lunch for ten years at the Algonquin Hotel.Fitzpatrick says, in one section, that there isn't a day, in this modern era, where someone, somewhere, mentions one of the group in a glowing context (I'm paraphrasing here). The fact remains that the work of Kaufman, Mrs. Parker, Ferber, Benchley, Harold Ross (who founded the New Yorker), and Herman J. Mankiewicz (who co-wrote Citizen Kane) have all stood the test of time and deserve to be remembered.The Algonquin Round Table New York: A Historical Guide gives the reader an opportunity to visit with old friends and discover new ones. There are photographs never before published and information that was new, even to me. It's a great way to introduce yourself to a group who made literary history. I spent the day with this "book" yesterday and where to begin, where to begin... I am one of those Algonquin Hotel bores who has read FAR TOO MUCH about the place and been far too fixated on The Algonquin Round Table and The Vicious Circle over the last 40 years - especially D. Parker, R. Benchley, S. J. Perelman, and Frank Case. I have stayed in the hotel dozens of times since 1985. I not only own all the books that have been published over the years about the Hotel and the Literary Circle but I have read them as well. AND I HAVE NEVER ONCE HEARD THE HOTEL REFERRED TO AS "THE GONK"! NOT ONE TIME! And in the Foreword of the book a former hotel "manager" calls it by that name dozens of times! And it is utterly ridiculous! Despite his having been a "manager" there, he has not earned the right! Not at all! It sounds to me like some modern (read: lame) and deep-as-a-birdbath attempt to re-brand and market the place. It does not need it! Certainly we could do without the ministrations of Melchiorri entirely. A very inauspicious beginning. I can recommend this book to any true lover of the Algonquin and certainly it'll intrigue you if you are interested in the history of the place. Although I'd suggest you read some other titles as well...read all of the books that Frank Case and his daughter Margaret Case Harriman wrote about the hotel. They knew it when! Read James R. Gaines "Wit's End...Days and Nights of The Algonquin Round Table." The Gonk indeed!
