Why see Fran Lebowitz?
In conversation with Fran Lebowitz
Lebowitz is known for her sardonic social commentary on American life as filtered through her New York sensibilities. Some reviewers have called her a modern-day Dorothy Parker, and now Fran invites you to discover the woman behind the name in this evening of intimate conversation.
Born in New Jersey Fran Lebowitz began her career by writing book and movie reviews for a small magazine called Changes. From there the iconic artist, Andy Warhol, hired her to be columnist for his magazine, Interview. After gaining recognition for her "I Cover the Waterfront" Lebowitz moved onto Mademooiselle before publishing her first two books, 'Metropolitan Life' and 'Social Studies'. In between writing books Lebowitz is a guest editor and occasional columnist for Vanity Fair.
