SUMMARY:In Conversation: Fran Lebowitz | Koffler Arts
DESCRIPTION:The Koffler Centre of the Arts is thrilled to present the Dorothy Shoichet Lecture Series\, featuring author\, raconteur\, cultural satirist and American cultural icon\, Fran Lebowitz. \nLebowitz will be in conversation with journalist Johanna Schneller\, followed by an audience Q & A. \nBen McNally Books will be on hand\, selling copies of The Fran Lebowitz Reader. \nWhen: \nApril 21\, 2018 @ 6pm (Doors @ 5pm) \nWhere: \nTed Rogers Hot Docs Cinema \n506 Bloor Street West\, Toronto \nCost: \nGeneral Admission $50.00 \nStudent/Senior $40.00 \nPlease reserve a place by purchasing your tickets here. \n\n \nThe Fran Lebowitz Reader brings together in one volume\, with a new preface\, two bestsellers\, Metropolitan Life and Social Studies\, by an “important humorist in the classic tradition” (The New York Times Book Review) who is “the natural successor to Dorothy Parker” (British Vogue). 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\, she is always wickedly entertaining. \n\nLebowitz worked odd jobs\, such as taxi driving\, belt peddling\, and apartment cleaning before being hired by Andy Warhol as a columnist for Interview. Her first book\, a collection of essays titled Metropolitan Life\, was an international bestseller\, as was a second collection\, Social Studies. \nFran Lebowitz still lives in New York City\, as she does not believe that she would be allowed to live anywhere else. \n\n \nJohanna Schneller is one of North America’s leading freelance journalists specializing in entertainment features. As the host of CBC’s new series\, The Filmmakers\, Schneller interviews directors and film experts about classic Canadian films. She also hosted TVO’s renowned film series Saturday Night at the Movies. Schneller regularly conducts on-stage interviews for the Toronto International Film Festival and the Toronto Library. \n000000
