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.
