Fran Lebowitz

In a cultural landscape filled with endless pundits, Fran Lebowitz stands out as one of our most insightful social commentators. Her essays and interviews offer her 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. The New York Times Book Review calls Lebowitz an “important humorist in the classic tradition.”
