Fran Lebowitz in Public Speaking A Martin Scorsese Picture Now an HBO(R) Documentary Film The
Fran Lebowitz Reader brings together in one volume with a new preface two bestsellers
Metropolitan Life and Social Studies by an important humorist in the classic tradition (The
New York Times Book Review) who is the natural successor to Dorothy Parker (British Vogue). In
elegant finely honed prose (The Washington Post Book World) Lebowitz limns the vicissitudes
of contemporary urban life--its fads trends crazes morals and fashions. By turns ironic
facetious deadpan sarcastic wry wisecracking and waggish she is always wickedly
entertaining.
