Fran Lebowitz
BlueShore Financial Centre for the Performing Arts, 2055 Purcell Way, North Vancouver Leading off the Cap U Speaker Series series on September 27 and 28 at The BlueShore Financial Centre for Performing Arts at Capilano University is iconic cultural commentator Fran Lebowitz.
Lebowitz's essays and interviews offer her acerbic views on current events and the media – as well as pet peeves including tourists, baggage-claim areas, after-shave lotion, adults who roller skate, children who speak French, or anyone who is unduly tan. The New York Times Book Review calls Lebowitz an “important humorist in the classic tradition.” Purveyor of urban cool, Lebowitz is a cultural satirist whom many call the heir to Dorothy Parker.
