Book Synopsis The Vicious Circle by : Margaret Case Harriman
Download or read book The Vicious Circle written by Margaret Case Harriman and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In June 1919, the Algonquin Hotel became the site of the daily meetings of the Algonquin Round Table, a group of journalists, authors, publicists and actors who gathered to exchange bon mots over lunch in the main dining room. The group met almost daily for the better part of ten years. Some of the core members of the “Vicious Circle” included Franklin P. Adams, Robert Benchley, Heywood Broun, Marc Connelly, Jane Grant, Ruth Hale, George S. Kaufman, Harpo Marx, Neysa McMein, Dorothy Parker, Harold Ross, Robert E. Sherwood and Alexander Woollcott. George S. Kaufman, Heywood Broun, and Edna Ferber, who influenced writers like F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, were also a part of the August assembly, and as founders of The New Yorker magazine, all hotel guests receive free copies to this day. Frank Case, owner of the Algonquin Hotel from 1907 until his death in 1946, ensured a daily luncheon for the talented group of young writers by treating them to free celery and popovers, and they were provided with their own table and waiter. All members were affiliated with the Algonquin Round Table, although they referred to themselves as the Vicious Circle. In this memoir, first published in 1951, Frank Case’s daughter Margaret Case Harriman recounts the diverting history of what was an innocent lunch group at her father’s hotel and illustrates how it grew to become an important factor in literature, the theatre, and American wit and humor... “A lively, chatty, entertaining work, touched with nostalgia.”—Chicago Sunday Tribune “Mrs. Harriman brings vividly to mind and to memory some of the most vivid people who ever sat around a table...She writes with enthusiasm and charm.”—New York Herald Tribune Book Review “Phenomenal...Congrats, as Connolly says, from the Bunch.”—Franklin P. Adams “A lovingly observed and brilliantly written chronicle of an era that didn’t know it was one.”—Deems Taylo

Book excerpt: Why should Dorothy Parker’s friends be the only ones making “enviable names” in “science, art, and parlor games”? Dorothy can play with the best of them—as she sets out to prove at a New Year’s Eve party at the Algonquin Hotel. Since the swanky soiree is happening in the penthouse suite of swashbuckling star Douglas Fairbanks, some derring-do is called for. How about a little game of “Murder”? Each partygoer draws a card to be detective, murderer, or victim. But young Broadway starlet Bibi Bibelot trumps them all when her dead body is found in the bathtub. No one knows who the killer is, but one thing is for sure—they won’t be making gin in that bathtub. When more partiers are put in peril, it becomes clear the game is indeed on, and it’s up to Dorothy, surprise guest Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and the members of the Round Table to stay alive—and relatively sober—long enough to find the killer…

Book excerpt: The wit at the poker table tended to be less sophisticated than the luncheon banter - one can't consider the possibilities of a three card flush and simultaneously create nifties - but it was at the poker table that the Round Tablers revealed, in their firehouse funnies, their substantially small town origins. Every one of them came from the hinterlands exept my father.

Book excerpt: The true life story of Michael Elihu Colby and his childhood days at Manhattan's Algonquin Hotel. His grandparents Mary and Ben B. Bodne had traded their southern oil fortune for the legendary but faded Algonquin and restored the hotel's former glory. Their efforts led to a remarkable renaissance and attracted an overflow of celebrities from the ridiculous to the sublime.

Nearly 200 rare photographs and illustrations, a Bibliography, Appendixes, and an Index.
