Dorothy Parker (don't they teach you kids anything in school
these days?) was indeed a writer who was prolific during the
30s and 40s.  She frequented the Algonquin Hotel with other
famous writers of the times and was a critic for The New
Yorker magazine.  The only book title that comes to mind is
"Enough Rope, but any library will have her stuff.
Another of her very famous lines in "Men seldom make passes
at girls who wear glasses."  She also wrote a lot of light
verse.  Here's one of her well-known verses:
  Razors pain you,
  Rivers are damp,
  Acids stain you,
  And drugs cause cramp.

  Guns aren't lawful,
  Nooses give,
  Gas smells awful--
  You might as well live.
