She is a born provocateur, capable of lowering the fumes of most of her fellow citizens and laughing at any situation: the search for an apartment, unpaid phone bills, a trip, book signings, sleeping (or not sleeping) to indecent hours, the desire to succeed, have a few drinks with celebrities, good restaurants or the (adult) education of children. In case you haven't guessed yet, we're talking about Fran Lebowitz. We are talking about New York. Famous from the series Pretend It's a City, by Martin Scorsese, Fran Lebowitz has been a great stranger who, finally, and in all fairness, has obtained the success that she deserved. Her prose, now assembled, is a compendium of the most refreshing and scathing humor she has read in decades.
