They were the literati of the Jazz Age, but their lives weren't as glamorous as the society pages made them seem. Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley, Charles MacArthur and the other regulars of the New York City salon known as the Algonquin Round Table publish celebrated pieces of writing and while away hours over boozy lunches. But for Parker, an endless string of droll commentary is a veneer hiding her emotional and romantic troubles.
