The Delightful Rage of Fran Lebowitz
b"Eric Newman, Medaya Ocher and Kate Wolf speak with legendary public speaker Fran Lebowitz. In a wide-ranging conversation, the gang flits from the Kavanaugh hearings to how the uber-rich have blighted the landscape of New York, from the escapism of literature (Lebowitz maintains that books are always better than real life) to the changes that have rocked the media environment in which Lebowitz has been a central figure for decades. In her iconic unvarnished style, Fran proves \\u2014 as if there were ever any need for such a thing \\u2014 that she\\u2019s still one of the most fascinating people to chat with about the lofty and mundane.\\nAlso, Eric recommends classicist Madeline Miller's\\xa0novel, The Song of Achilles, that brings to life the love affair between Patroclus and Homeric Greece's greatest warrior."
