A review by jimio
The Fran Lebowitz Reader by Fran Lebowitz

funny lighthearted fast-paced

3.5

I’m a big fan of Fran’s spoken word material – I could listen to her for hours, and did in fact pay good money to see her live. I feel like these essays would have been great 40 years ago when they were written but the style often feels dated (as you would expect). There are some gems amongst it all and I laughed a few times when that acerbic voice cut through. It’s one for the coffee table, to be snacked on rather than devoured.
