After watching the excellent Netflix docuseries Pretend It’s A City earlier this year, I knew that I had to get my hands on some of Fran Lebowitz’s writing. Sharp, funny, unrelentingly critical in the best way. This book was thrilling and hilarious and snarky, and you should read it now (and often!)

Although I enjoy the style and humour, the social commentary is outdated

While uneven in places I loved reading the dry, scalding wit of Fran Lebowitz. She is at her best at her most brief:

"Polite conversation is rarely either."

"Generally speaking, it is inhumane to detain a fleeing insight."

"If your sexual fantasies were truly of interest to others, they would no longer be fantasies."
