Fran Lebowitz

Fran Lebowitz, author, journalist, and social observer, comes to Provincetown Town Hall for an evening of literary humor and sharp cultural commentary. Her essays and interviews have earned her a reputation as one of America’s most insightful social commentators, with acerbic takes on current events, the media, and a precise set of pet peeves that includes tourists, baggage-claim areas, after-shave lotion, adults who roller skate, children who speak French, and anyone who is unduly tan. The New York Times Book Review calls her “an important humorist in the classic tradition.” Purveyor of urban cool, Lebowitz is a cultural satirist many consider the heir to Dorothy Parker.
