This thesis offers a reevaluation of selected short stories by Dorothy Parker. Although receptions of Parker's work have been predominantly negative, this is not seen as cause for lament, but rather for a revision of literary valuing practices and the canonical paradigms they support. Traditional assumptions about the status of so-called "minor" literature and its subservient relation to canonical works are rejected in favour of a revised appreciation of the qualities specific to minor modes of writing.
