During her childhood, Fran was amazed by the power of books. Today, she still is, and can't imagine ever throwing a book away. But her love for books doesn't stop her from being selective about which books are actually good.
Fran discusses her interest in the mystery of talent, the danger of writing and that one time she was chased by Charles Mingus through the streets of New York City.
Between conversations and talks with an audience, Fran Lebowitz walks through New York City and her fears of Times Square, her mortal distractions and subway art.
