Under The Table: A Dorothy Parker Cocktail GuideI’m pretty sure this is the first time a review of one of my books referenced Neil DeGrasse Tyson.  Pretty cool.

This very flattering review comes from It’s just the booze dancing, a popular cocktail blog.

An excerpt:

Kevin C. Fitzpatrick’s book “Under The Table: A Dorothy Parker Cocktail Guide” is a history book of sorts, but at no point did I feel like I was being lectured to. Much like a well crafted cocktail, this book is all about balance. Rather than just focusing on Dorothy Parker’s life and work, Mr. Fitzpatrick gives us a hodgepodge of history, cocktail recipes along with their origin stories, and numerous quotes by Dorothy Parker or one of her associates.
