Förlagets beskrivning
The Legendary Writers of the "Vicious Circle"Collected Together For the First Time"The Algonquin was a refuge for the brightest authors, editors, critics, columnists, artists, financiers, composers, directors, producers and actors of the times. The dining-room corner was a hot bed of raconteurs and conversationalists."-Harpo MarxIn Jazz Age New York City, no literary lights burned more brightly than those of the legendary Algonquin Round Table. Now between covers for the first time is a collection of writing by 16 members of the group, an all-star gathering that took 90 years to come together.

Short fiction by Laurence Stallings and Pulitzer Prize-winners Edna Ferber and Margaret Leech. Journalism from Alexander Woollcott, Ruth Hale and Deems Taylor. Poetry by Adams, Marc Connelly, Dorothy Parker and John V. A. Weaver.With a foreword by Nat Benchley
