«Should you make it through this book without laughing, have your vital signs checked – a deep coma is nothing to trifle with.» COSMOPOLITAN

«With elegance and accuracy, Fran Lebowitz draws a knife through urban life, dissecting its pretensions, puncturing its sensitive joints and bursting more than one overblown bubble. Woody Allen may have his finger on the pulse of metropolitan society – but Fran Lebowitz has unblinkinkgly, unashamedly and unrepentantly cut out its heart.»

«Right on target» PUNCH

«Metropolitan Life met with rave reviews… Social studies is even better» PLAYBOY
