Where and When: Citadel's Maclab Theatre on Nov. 16

Fran Lebowitz heads to the Citadel Theatre in Edmonton on Nov. 16 for an interview with CBC's Writers & Company host Eleanor Wachtel.

What will be covered

Lebowitz, purveyor of urban cool, and witty chronicler of the “me decade,” remains one of the foremost advocates of the Extreme Statement. She offers insights on timely issues such as gender, race, gay rights, and the media as well as her own pet peeves – including celebrity culture, tourists, and strollers.
