WORT 89.9FM Madison · Fran Lebowitz Talks Politics NYC And Books

By the time she was 20 years old, Fran Lebowitz had already gotten herself expelled from high school, had escaped her hometown of Morristown, New Jersey, and, after a brief stint in Poughkeepsie, New York, ran away to the bright lights of New York City.  There she worked all manner of odd jobs – including a writer of pornography – just to stay in the Big Apple.  Her writing career took off in 1971, when Andy Warhol hired her as a writer for his new magazine “Interview.”  After two successful books, “Metropolitan Life” and “Social Studies,” Fran Lebowitz now tours the country as a professional pundit.  She’ll be at the Madison Overture Center on November 8th.  Fran Lebowitz joined Monday Buzz host Brian Standing on November 7, 2022.
