Summary of Fran Lebowitz's The Fran Lebowitz Reader

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I wake up to the sound of my agent calling from Los Angeles. I do not know him, but he is audibly tan and interested in my work. He has come to the conclusion that I should write a movie comedy. I do not agree, but I agree to talk just as soon as I have won the Nobel Prize for Physics.

#2 I often worked late into the night. I would spend hours writing, then go to dinner with a group of people that included two fashion models, a fashion photographer, and an art director. I would spend the night staring at the sofa, not unmindful of the fact that it converts cleverly into a bed.

#3 I believe that all people should have warm clothing, sufficient food, and adequate shelter. I do not believe, however, that they should be willing to behave in an acceptable manner. If they are not willing to change, they should bundle up and stay home.

#4 There are two steps to achieving acceptable behavior. The first is to carefully examine the above chart. The second is to rid yourself of certain popular and harmful misconceptions, such as the belief that there is dignity in all work, that everyone is beautiful, or that inner peace exists.
