FRAN LEBOWITZ
Fran Lebowitz first hit the New York
literary scene in the early 70’s when Andy Warhol hired her to write a column
for Interview. Almost immediately, she
became a mainstay in the magazine world. As a regular contributor to both Interview
and Mademoiselle, she soon became a name associated with irreverent
humor and urban wit. In 1978, she published a book of essays entitled M. The New York Times wrote “Hilarious...an unlikely and perhaps
alarming combination of Mary Hartman and Mary McCarthy.” She followed this
with a second book, in 1981, of equally sardonic essays - Social
Studies. Both books were New York
Times best-sellers. Recently, they were reissued in a single volume entitled
The Fran Lebowitz Reader. She is also
the author of a children’s book, Mr. Chas and Lisa Sue meet the Pandas, which
has been listed on the Publisher’s Weeks juvenile bestseller list.
