Book description
In the vein of Lebowitz's acclaimed Netflix limited series, Pretend It's a City--The Fran Lebowitz Reader brings together two of the famed author's bestsellers, Metropolitan Life and Social Studies.In elegant, finely honed prose (The Washington Post Book World), Lebowitz limns the vicissitudes of contemporary urban life--its fads, trends, crazes, morals, and fashions. By turns ironic, facetious, deadpan, sarcastic, wry, wisecracking, and waggish, Fran Lebowitz is always wickedly entertaining.

I've discovered authors I'd never heard of before, and now they're among my favorites. I can't imagine a day without this app β it has made my audiobook journey seamless and fulfilling. ListenBook's loop and shuffle playback options are essential for my audiobook enjoyment and study. I can't believe how seamless the integration with Apple Watch is. My workouts just got better. The narrator was good but spoke a bit too slowly for my taste. I had to speed it up to 1.2x which then made some parts sound slightly unnatural.
