We are all doomed
Mark pointed me to a lively interview here by Robert Birnbaum with Anthony Lane, the New Yorker film critic. Excellent stuff, but for this:
It so was her. If Anthony Lane of all people doesn’t know his Parker, we are all doomed.
Fun fact: she said it of Ayn Rand’s novel Atlas Shrugged.
RB: (laughs) Whose wonderful quote was it about throwing a book across the room?
AL: Oh yes. Something like, “This book should not be set aside lightly but hurled across the room with great force.”
RB: Who said it? Dorothy Parker?
AL: It may have been Thurber. Though it sounds more like her, doesn’t it? But it isn’t her. Most of the things we think are funny turn out not to be her.

She criticised Ayn Rand? Wait till Lindsay Perigo hears about this.
