A few friends get together, have a good time, and decide it would be fun to do it on a regular basis. \u003cp\u003eNow, give them all literary or theatrical pedigrees and larger than life personalities. Then put them in a time and place that encourages artistic creativity, excessive drinking and some rather outrageous behavior. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLastly, give them national exposure. What emerges is a group that not only sets the standard for contemporary literary style and wit, but helps change forever the face of American culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection contains the early poems, stories and anecdotes from seven of the Algonquin Round Table writers: Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley, Franklin Pierce Adams, Heywood Broun, Edna Ferber, Ruth Hale, and Donald Ogden Stewart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Traveling Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47040300482800,"sku":"9781934255346","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781934255346_p0.jpg?v=1763642266","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781934255346","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
