The Fran Lebowitz Reader

Fran Lebowitz is prominently featured in Martin Scorsese's documentary film, *Public Speaking*, now available on HBO®. *The Fran Lebowitz Reader* compiles two of her acclaimed works, *Metropolitan Life* and *Social Studies*, into a single volume with a fresh preface. Celebrated by The New York Times Book Review as a significant humorist in the classic mold and regarded by British Vogue as the heir to Dorothy Parker, Lebowitz captures the essence of modern city life with her sharp, polished prose, as noted by The Washington Post Book World. Her writing incisively dissects current fads, morals, and fashions, showcasing her signature wit, which is by turns ironic, sarcastic, and delightfully sharp-tongued.
