By: Kelsey Denette Feb. 03, 2012
Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts will present author, journalist and social observer Fran Lebowitz on Thursday, March 1, at 7:30 p.m. in the Virginia G. Piper Theater.
Tickets are available for $39 and $49 online at www.ScottsdalePerformingArts.org or through the Patron Services Box Office at (480) 499-TKTS (8587).Known for her dry, irreverent wit and assorted pet peeves, Fran Lebowitz delivers unapologetic opinions about modern life. A fixture in the New York Magazine world since the early 1970s, Lebowitz was hired by Andy Warhol as a columnist for Interview and has been a contributor to Mademoiselle and Vanity Fair. Her first two classic books of essays, Metropolitan Life and Social Studies, were bestsellers and have been collected in The Fran Lebowitz Reader, and she is the author of the children’s book Mr. Chas and Lisa Sue Meet the Pandas. Lebowitz recently broke a decade-long writer’s block and is back at work on her long-awaited novel, Exterior Signs of Wealth. She also was the subject of Martin Scorsese’s recent documentary film Public Speaking.Comments
