Out of print 1978 paperback with groovy cover was a New York Times bestseller. In the tradition of Dorothy Parker, Lebowitz portrays 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. Fran Lebowitz's sense of humor is still very much appreciated--just check some of her quotations.
