The quintessential New Yorker and self-described ‘angriest person in the airport’ has events in Rancho Mirage, Los Angeles and Costa Mesa from Feb. 3-6.
Fran Lebowitz may be a writer who doesn’t write much anymore – she’s famously suffered from writer’s block for decades now – but as a talker she’s without peer.
Writer and social commentator Fran Lebowitz, seen here in the Martin Scorsese-created Netflix docuseries “Pretend It’s a City,” comes to Southern California for three speaking engagements. She’ll be at the Rancho Mirage Writers Festival on Friday, Feb. 3, the Theatre at Ace Hotel in Los Angeles on Saturday, Feb. 4, and the Segerstrom Center for the Arts on Monday, Feb. 6.
“I like doing this,” she says in the Scorsese film about her live events. “Because it’s what I’ve wanted all my life – people asking me my opinion.” Q: How did you get started doing these kinds of talking-on-stage shows, and do you remember the first one you did?Yes, because I invented it. I know a lot of people do it now, usually a little differently than I do. But I invented it because I used to give readings, you know, and then sometimes someone would interview me and I might have some questions .
The truth is that New York is so hard to live in in every possible way. There’s nothing not hard about living in New York. There’s a part of me that feels I do this, and there’s some reason it makes it worth it. Because there are a billion places easier to live. There’s a billion places cheaper to live for sure. There’s many, many places more beautiful to live. It’s not Florence, it’s not Paris.
