Are Parents People? is a witty and perceptive collection of stories by Alice Duer Miller that explores the complexities of modern family life and the often-fraught relationships between parents and their children. Written with the sharp social insight for which Miller is renowned, the title story follows the trials of a young woman caught in the crossfire of her divorced parents' ongoing animosity. Through clever dialogue and charming characters, Miller examines the changing social mores of the early 20th century, particularly regarding marriage, divorce, and the emerging independence of the younger generation.

Beyond the central theme of familial conflict, the collection offers a sophisticated look at high society, blending humor with poignant observations on human nature. Miller's work remains a significant example of American social satire, capturing the shift in domestic dynamics as traditional roles were questioned and redefined in the post-war era. Are Parents People? showcases the author's ability to tackle serious social themes with a light, engaging touch, making it an enduring piece of literary history that continues to resonate with readers interested in family dynamics and social evolution.
