Krátky popis
Acerbic, wisecracking and hilarious, this is the definitive essay
collection from New York legend and satirist, Fran Lebowitz, star
of Martin Scorsese's hit Netflix series, Pretend It's a City. 'The
gold standard for intelligence, efficiency and humour. Now and
forever' DAVID SEDARIS'She's inexhaustible - her personality, her
knowledge, her brilliance, most of all her humour' MARTIN
SCORSESE'The rare example of a legend living up to her own
mythology.She really is THAT funny' HADLEY FREEMANLebowitz turns
her trademark caustic wit to the vicissitudes of life - from
children ('rarely in the position to lend one a truly interesting
sum of money') to landlords ('it is the solemn duty of every
landlord to maintain an adequate supply of roaches'). And her
attitude to work is the perfect antidote to our exhausting culture
of self-betterment ('3.40pm. I consider getting out of bed.I reject
the notion as being unduly vigorous. I read and smoke a bit more').
'Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things
and small people talk about wine''Think before you speak.Read
before you think' 'All God's children are not beautiful. Most of
God's children are, in fact, barely presentable' 'There is no such
thing as inner peace. There is only nervousness and death''The
opposite of talking isn't listening.The opposite of talking is
waiting'
