Marjorie Ingall is the co-author, with internationally bestselling author Susan McCarthy, of Sorry, Sorry, Sorry: The Case for Good Apologies (now out in paperback as Getting to Sorry) and the author of Mamaleh Knows Best. A frequent contributor to The New York Times Book Review, she's a former columnist for Tablet Magazine and The Forward (where she was known as “The East Village Mamele”). She's written for a whole lot of other publications and ghostwritten other people's books. Way back in the day, she was the senior writer and books editor at Sassy. Fun fact: She worked on the launch of the Oxygen TV network, but discovered that her perkiness levels were not up to a job in daytime TV. ...more

“This wasn't just plain terrible, this was fancy terrible. This was terrible with raisins in it."

[Women Know Everything!]”
Dorothy Parker

“The only difference between everybody and nobody is all the shoes”
Amor Towles, A Gentleman in Moscow

Dorothy Parker
“I know that an author must be brave enough to chop away clinging tentacles of good taste for the sake of a great work. But this is no great work, you see.”
Dorothy Parker

Dorothy Parker
“The plot is so tired that even this reviewer, who in infancy was let drop by a nurse with the result that she has ever since been mystified by amateur coin tricks, was able to guess the identity of the murderer from the middle of the book.”
Dorothy Parker

Dorothy Parker
“To me, the raveled sleeve of care is never more painlessly knitted up than in an evening alone in a chair snug yet copious, with a good light and an easily held little volume sloppily printed and bound in inexpensive paper. I do not ask much of it - which is just as well, for that is all I get. It does not matter if I guess the killer, and if I happen to discover, along around page 208, that I have read the work before, I attribute the fact not to the less than arresting powers of the author, but to my own lazy memory. I like best to have one book in my hand, and a stack of others on the floor beside me, so as to know the supply of poppy and mandragora will not run out before the small hours. In all reverence I say Heaven bless the Whodunit, the soothing balm on the wound, the cooling hand on the brow, the opiate of the people."

--Book review Of Ellery Queen: The New York Murders, from Esquire, January 1959”
