Fran Lebowitz in

Public Speaking

A Martin Scorsese Picture

Today an HBO® Documentary Film

The Fran Lebowitz Reader brings together in a single volume, with a fresh preface, two bestsellers, Metropolitan Existence and Social Research, by an ‘important humorist in the classic tradition’ (THE BRAND NEW York Times Book Review) who’s ‘the natural successor to Dorothy Parker’ (British Vogue). In ‘elegant, finely honed prose’ (The Washington Post Publication Globe), Lebowitz limns the vicissitudes of modern urban life-its fads, styles, crazes, morals, and styles. By converts ironic, facetious, deadpan, sarcastic, wry, wisecracking, and waggish, she is always wickedly interesting.
