Dorothy Parker was born during a hurricane in 1893 — and finally officially laid to rest Monday, the day after Tropical Storm Henri hit the city, when the Jazz Age writer’s tombstone was unveiled in The Bronx.

The quirky unveiling ceremony at Woodlawn Cemetery was befitting the famed humorist — and capped a yearslong effort to ensure Parker received a proper resting spot.

“This is finally her homecoming to her beloved New York City,” said Kevin Fitzpatrick, president of the Dorothy Parker Society, a non-profit that promotes the work of the writer and member of the Algonquin Hotel’s famed Round Table of authors, humorists and actors.

I dunno? PJ O’Rourke perhaps?

She is gone now but I always looked forward to Florence King’s column, “The Misanthrope’s Corner” in The National Review magazine during the W.F.Buckley era.

I used to have a collection of her work, titled “Stet! Damn it”!
