<p>Fran Lebowitz is a legendary writer and critic. She’s made a career of sharing hot takes without apology, and she didn’t hold back when she joined Mattea Roach for a special on-stage event in Toronto. You might know Fran from her books <em>Metropolitan Life</em> and <em>Social Studies</em> or her appearances in two Martin Scorsese documentaries.
