Fran Lebowitz inPublic SpeakingA Martin Scorsese PictureNow an HBO® Documentary FilmThe Fran Lebowitz Reader brings together in one volume, with a new preface, two bestsellers, Metropolitan Life and Social Studies, by an "important humorist in the classic tradition" (The New York Times Book Review) who is "the natural successor to Dorothy Parker" (British Vogue). In "elegant, finely honed prose" (The Washington Post Book World), Lebowitz limns the vicissitudes of contemporary urban life—its fads, trends, crazes, morals, and fashions. By turns ironic, facetious, deadpan, sarcastic, wry, wisecracking, and waggish, she is always wickedly entertaining.

Contrary to what many of you might imagine, a career in letters is not without its drawbacks - chief among them the unpleasant fact that one is frequently called upon to actually sit down and write.Acerbic, wisecracking and hilarious, this is the definitive essay collection from the New York legend and satirist. Lebowitz turns her trademark caustic wit to the vicissitudes of life - from children (''rarely in the position to lend one a truly interesting sum of money'') to landlords (''it is the solemn duty of every landlord to maintain an adequate supply of roaches''). Her advice for would-be Absolute Political Dictators is invaluable (''Not recommended for the shy type''), and her attitude to work is the perfect antidote to our exhausting culture of self-betterment (''3.40pm. I consider getting out of bed. I reject the notion as being unduly vigorous. I read and smoke a bit more'').''The gold standard for intelligence, efficiency and humour. Now and forever'' DAVID SEDARIS''She''s inexhaustible - her personality, her knowledge, her brilliance, most of all her humour'' MARTIN SCORSESE''The rare example of a legend living up to her own mythology.

A brilliant collection of acerbic, wisecracking and hilarious essays from New York icon Fran Lebowitz, star of Martin Scorsese's hit Netflix series, Pretend It's a CityFran Lebowitz is a New York legend. Arriving in the city over fifty years ago, she made her name as a columnist on Andy Warhol's Interview magazine, before publishing two bestselling collections of essays. She's one of America's most insightful social commentators, a sought-after public speaker, a style icon, wit and flaneur.In these essays, Lebowitz turns her trademark caustic wit to everything from children ('rarely in the position to lend one a truly interesting sum of money'), to novelty ice cubes ('flowers belong in one's lapel, not in one's bourbon') and landlords ('it is the solemn duty of every landlord to maintain an adequate supply of roaches'). And her attitude to work is the perfect antidote to our exhausting culture of self-betterment ('3.40pm. I consider getting out of bed. I reject the notion as being unduly vigorous. I read and smoke a bit more'). *'Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things and small people talk about wine'*'Think before you speak. Read before you think'*'All God's children are not beautiful. Most of God's children are, in fact, barely presentable.'*'My favourite animal is steak'

Von Andy Warhol entdeckt, als Stilikone und Talkgast verehrt, ist Fran Lebowitz in den USA eine Kultfigur. Mit der Netflix-Serie «Pretend It''s a City» ihres Freundes Martin Scorsese wird sie derzeit weltweit gefeiert. Lebowitz'' Ruhm begründet aber hat ihr Schreiben, das sie als ebenso aufmerksame wie weise Beobachterin der Menschen und ihres Alltags zeigt.Unglaublich komisch, immer überraschend, mit zeitloser Eleganz, aphoristischem Sprachwitz und laserscharfer Satire schreibt sie über Allgemeinstes, «Dinge», «Orte», «Pflanzen», «Ideen», vor allem aber über Menschliches, ob «Leute», «Affären», «Benehmen» oder auch «Kinder: pro oder contra?». Vielleicht kann nur die Welthauptstadt New York so eine Beobachtungsgabe hervorbringen. Denn alle unsere Fragen und Probleme – Selbstoptimierung, Körperkult, Kindererziehung, unbezahlbare Wohnungen, Eitelkeit und gnadenlose Angeberei als Karrierebooster etwa – sind dort schon immer so virulent wie heute überall: «Ein Salat ist keine Mahlzeit. Es ist eine Haltung.» – Diese Autorin kennt die Menschen und vor allem ihre Schwächen, ihre grandiosen Texte sind nichts weniger als ein Sittenbild unserer Zeit, pointierte Weltweisheit: cool und treffsicher, böse und lustig.

Als Mr. Chas und Lisa Sue in ihrem New Yorker Apartmenthaus plötzlich zwei Riesenpandas durch den Flur flitzen sehen, können sie es kaum glauben. Tatsächlich leben die Pandas im zweiten Stock, allerdings todunglücklich, denn sie wünschen sich nichts sehnlicher, als das Großstadtleben zu genießen. Das ist aber, wie sich herausstellt, in New York nicht möglich: Sie müssen sich verstecken, können das Haus nur als Hunde verkleidet verlassen, die New Yorker lieben Pandas einfach zu sehr und würden sie sofort in den Zoo sperren. Deshalb wollen sie nach Paris: Dort gibt es die besten Schokoladen-Éclairs, und sie dürfen unbehelligt in Museen und Restaurants gehen. Der schüchterne Mr. Chas und die draufgängerische Lisa Sue beschließen, den Pandabären zu helfen, und erfinden einen genialen Plan, der aber leider nicht ganz reibungslos funktioniert …Mit ihrem unvergleichlichen Charme und Witz erzählt Fran Lebowitz eine zeitlose Geschichte von Freundschaft, Sehnsucht, Anderssein und Freiheit. Eine Wiederentdeckung aus dem Werk der New Yorker Kultautorin – und bis heute ihr einziger fiktionaler Text. Ein großes Vergnügen für Leserinnen und Leser jeden Alters.
