Dorothy Parker was a real person of 1920’s fame, but this is not historical fiction, per se. It is more about Norah Wolfe who works for TV talk show, Simon Janey Live. The company is failing and if they don’t soon secure a phenomenal interview with someone ultra-famous, the show will be cancelled....
It isn't necessary to read Meister's first Dorothy Parker book (Farewell, Dorothy Parker) before this. In fact, you might want to read this one first because A) it's kind of a prequel, and B) it's better. The ghost of Dorothy Parker manages to disarm the world-weariest of people this time around wit...
Meister's previous novel, Farewell, Dorothy Parker, was an enjoyable though fairly predictable but well-executed tale with characters I appreciated. While I intended to track down more by Meister, I hadn't yet. One thing I didn't expect was to see a sequel -- there was really nothing in the it to ma...
I discovered Dorothy Parker in college via Carrie Fisher, who claimed her as an influence. I've read the Portable Dorothy Parker and Marion Meade's bio, both of which I recommend in a heartbeat. I liked Meister's The Other Life, too, so this seemed like a slam dunk.I liked this story, but I feel it ...

This entertaining novel featuring the ghost of witty Dorothy Parker is, of course, full of tart-tongued repartee, but along with the humor is a surprisingly moving story of friendship and family. Though no longer among the living, Dorothy Parker is still hanging around the Algonquin Hotel in corpore...
Movie critic Violet Epps is outspoken ... on paper. In person, she suffers from crippling social anxiety. She's afraid to break up with her loser/user boyfriend. She's afraid to speak up to her niece's grandparents ... the ones whom she is battling for custody of the teenaged girl after Violet's ...
Movie critic Violet Epps is bold in print, but she has such a hard time speaking up in person that she’s at risk of gaining a roommate she doesn’t want (a boyfriend she’s trying to break up with) and losing the custody battle for her beloved niece. It seems like a godsend when the free-spirited, ta...
