Fran Lebowitz discusses culture and politics in A Coruña

New York author and cultural commentator Fran Lebowitz participated in a talk at the Marta Ortega Pérez Center in A Coruña, Spain, alongside historian Daniel Mendelsohn. During the session, Lebowitz shared her characteristic ironical perspective on various subjects, including art, television, and politics.

Lebowitz discussed her career and her relationship with New York City, noting how her perception of the city has evolved since arriving in the 1970s. She also touched upon her film appearance in ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ and offered commentary on political figures, suggesting that current political shifts began with the Reagan era rather than solely with Donald Trump. The conversation also covered her views on the impact of the September 11 attacks and the subsequent loss of individual liberties.
