Thank you for supporting our libraries and have a great weekend. A column about books signed "Constant Reader" ran in The New Yorker almost every week from October 1927 through May 1928, and intermittently thereafter until 1933. It was an open secret that "Constant Reader" was Dorothy Parker, though her name never appeared. Of the forty-six Constant Reader pieces that appeared, thirty-one have been reprinted here in whole or in part. These light-hearted essays about reading and writing played as much a part in creating the Parker legend, and were as much a part of the times, as her stories and poems. They were a new and very personal kind of book reviewing. Without pretending to the Higher Criticism, they were still far from being merely fun. In the more close-knit literary world of the late twenties and early thirties, they often made or unmade reputations. And time has confirmed most of her judgments.
