Dorothy Parker's Elbow: Tattoos on Writers, Writers on Tattoos





Previously considered the domain of bikers and a rite of passage in the army, tattoos have crawled out of society's fringes and onto the ankles of starlets and the biceps of bankers. While still risque enough to raise a mother-in-law's eyebrow, tattoos have come to be one of the most popular forms of personal expression. DOROTHY PARKER'S ELBOW brings together some of the most erotic, humorous, and vivid fiction, essays, and poetry that explore the mysterious fascination and the intensity of emotion attached to the act of being tattooed. Readers will join great writers, including Flannery O'Connor, Rick Moody, Elizabeth McCracken, Sylvia Plath, and more in celebrating the tattoo experience in all of its rebellious glory.
