Beschreibung

<p><i>Contrary to what many of you might imagine, a career in letters is not without its drawbacks - chief among them the unpleasant fact that one is frequently called upon to actually sit down and write.</i><br><br>Acerbic, wisecracking and hilarious, this is the definitive essay collection from the New York legend and satirist.<br><br>Lebowitz turns her trademark caustic wit to the vicissitudes of life - from children ('rarely in the position to lend one a truly interesting sum of money') to landlords ('it is the solemn duty of every landlord to maintain an adequate supply of roaches'). Her advice for would-be Absolute Political Dictators is invaluable ('Not recommended for the shy type'), and her attitude to work is the perfect antidote to our exhausting culture of self-betterment ('3.40pm. I consider getting out of bed. I reject the notion as being unduly vigorous. I read and smoke a bit more').<br><b><br>'She's inexhaustible - her personality, her knowledge, her brilliance, most of all her humour' MARTIN SCORSESE</b><br><b><br>'The rare example of a legend living up to her own mythology. She really is THAT funny' HADLEY FREEMAN</b><br><b><br>'Genuinely one of the funniest people in the world' IRENOSEN OKOJIE</b><br><br><b>'There's nothing more refreshing than a dose of Fran Lebowitz' CAROLINE O'DONOGHUE</b><br><br><b>'As witty, original, and impeccably discerning as the woman herself' </b><b>OTEGHA UWAGBA</b></p>
