Witty commentaries on all kinds of subjects. The author is very funny and right on the money.
I, personally, had a great time reading "Social Studies." The fact that it's a title from when I was a child made it especially appealing, since I always wondered what "the big deal was" about Fran Lebowitz. The person I swapped this with was correct: A recent TV series spurred my renewed interest in learning more about Lebowitz's writing. Anyone who's watched or is watching it won't be surprised by what they read here--though they will find her earlier thoughts to be a bit more free-form or free-flowing. This set of essays is exactly what it sounds like: a group of musings and observances about society and how we function (or might) as humans sharing sometimes close quarters.
