Abstract

In the postwar period, in Italy, Dorothy Parker enjoyed a moment of popularity with two women's magazines, Grazia and Annabella, which published six of her short stories between 1946 and 1950. This essay analyzes the Italian translations in order to show how they both reflected and influenced the kind of reading of Parker's stories that was expected from the audience of these magazines as opposed to the original American audience, the readers of Cosmopolitan, The New Republic and The New Yorker.
