Collected here are three of Dorothy Parker's earliest works: two collections of poetry—Enough Rope and Sunset Gun as well as her short, hilarious collection of stories recounting all of the men she managed to avoid marrying named (appropriately) Men I'm Not Married To. One of the 20th century's most celebrated and renowned humorists, Parker burst upon the unsuspecting literary world with these best-selling books, delivering biting, satiric, and insightful comments on love, life, and literature that would make her a worldwide sensation.

Dorothy Parker—social commentator, political reformer, and legendary wit—has enjoyed a special place in American culture, and Sunset Gun is another early example of Parker's unique and wry commentary on modern life. It is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
