New DVD: Public Speaking
We recently added Public Speaking to the DBRL collection. The film is the work of well known director Martin Scorsese, who has directed other documentaries like The Last Waltz, Lightning in A Bottle, No Direction Home, & Rolling Stones Shine A Light. Here’s a synopsis from our catalog:
Wise, brilliant, and funny, Fran Lebowitz hit the New York literary scene in the early ’70s when Andy Warhol hired the unknown scribe to write a column for Interview magazine. Today, she’s an acclaimed author with legions of fans who adore her acerbic wit. Public speaking captures the author in conversation at New York’s Waverly Inn, in an onstage discussion with longtime friend and celebrated writer Toni Morrison, and on the streets of New York City.
Check out the film trailer or the official film site for more info. If you’re a fan of Lebowitz you can put a hold on her book Progress which we have on order for the library.
