BEWARE the young woman writer with the seriously intelligent sense of humor. She will scratch you. She will pounce when your back is turned. She will put a table of your supposedly clever friends at a very real loss for words. Not since Dorothy Parker glanced into a Macy's three-way has a finer collection of print, television, and radio writers graced Manhattan. Join them for a reading that will leave you lying on your back, swatting at imaginary toys.
