The New York-based author and social commentator will participate in an onstage conversation at Balboa Theatre in Gaslamp on Monday.
Fran Lebowitz doesn’t have time for slow walkers. For the longtime New Yorker, walking is a mode of transportation, not a leisurely activity that clogs up the sidewalks.
“I didn’t teach myself Dutch. I didn’t learn how to ski — basically I would say I was as unproductive as I ordinarily am,” Lebowitz told The San Diego Union-Tribune in her trademark no-nonsense style. Lebowitz is also known for her longtime aversion to technology: She’s never owned a cellphone, computer or even a typewriter. So how did Lebowitz fare during the virtual-only reality of the pandemic, when she had to do publicity for her Netflix series, as well as a few speaking dates, via Zoom?
While the New Yorker spends long stretches on the road, Lebowitz usually doesn’t have time to explore the cities she visits. It’s safe to say you won’t find her laying on the beaches , sitting at the bar of a craft brewery , or riding on the MTS trolley during next week’s San Diego tour stop.taken the trolley before.
I ask if she’s heard of a California burrito — she hasn’t, but imagines it has mayonnaise on it. The name prompts a childhood memory of a mayonnaise slathered California Burger, which to her, “is an insane thing to do to a hamburger.”
