Fran Lebowitz is a forthright and opinionated American author in a cultural landscape filled with endless pundits and talking heads, and she stands out as one of the country's most insightful social commentators.

This is your chance to see her live in conversation at Barbican Hall, sharing her hilariously dry commentary on pretty much anything and everything: from her childhood in New Jersey and being expelled from school for being a bad influence, to writing a column for Andy Warhol's Interview magazine.

She'll be offering insights on timely issues like gay rights, gender, race and the media, as well as a few of her own pet peeves like tourists, celebrity culture and baby strollers.
