Fran Lebowitz inPublic SpeakingA Martin Scorsese PictureNow an HBO® Documentary FilmThe Fran Lebowitz Reader includes in one single volume, with a new preface, two bestsellers, Urban Life and Social Research, by an "essential humorist in the basic tradition" (The New York Times Book Review) who's "the natural heir to Dorothy Parker" (British Style). In "stylish, finely-honed writing" (The Washington Post Book World), Lebowitz limns the vicissitudes of modern metropolitan life—its diets, styles, products, morals, and styles. By turns facetious, interesting, deadpan, sardonic, wry, wise-cracking, and waggish, she's usually wickedly enjoyable.
