Fran Lebowitz

This event is recommended for guests ages 13 and older. ABOUT FRAN LEBOWITZ Lebowitz worked odd jobs, such as taxi driving, belt peddling, and apartment cleaning ("with a small specialty in Venetian blinds"), before being hired by Andy Warhol as a columnist for Interview. That was followed by a stint at Mademoiselle. Her first book, a collection of essays titled "Metropolitan Life," was a bestseller, as was a second collection, "Social Studies." By turns ironic, facetious, deadpan, sarcastic, wry, wisecracking, and waggish, Lebowitz's prose is wickedly entertaining. Her two books are collected in "The Fran Lebowitz Reader," with a new preface by the author. "The Fran Lebowitz Reader" has been published in nine languages including French, Korean, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish. In 2021 it was published for the first time in the United Kingdom and became a bestseller. Lebowitz is also the author of the children's book, "Mr. Chas and Lisa Sue Meet the Pandas."
Fran Lebowitz's trademark is the sneer; she disapproves of virtually everything except sleep, cigarette smoking, and good furniture." - The Paris Review Show And Tell presents author, journalist, and social observer Fran Lebowitz (she/her). This is Lebowitz off the cuff. Her writing - pointed, taut and economical - is equally forthright, irascible, and unapologetically opinionated. The evening will also include a book signing after the show along with an audience question and answer session. In a cultural landscape filled with endless pundits and talking heads, Fran Lebowitz stands out as one of our most insightful social commentators. Her essays and interviews offer her acerbic views on current events and the media - as well as pet peeves including tourists, baggage-claim areas, after-shave lotion, adults who roller skate, children who speak French, or anyone who is unduly tan.
