Fran Lebowitz takes on American manners

Listen

The latest in our quest to redesign America -- author, humourist and public speaker Fran Lebowitz on American manners. Never afraid to share her firm and unswerving opinions, The Paris Review once noted that she disapproves of "virtually everything except sleep, cigarette smoking, and good furniture." From eating and chewing gum in public to being in "a world of one's own" while walking down the street, Fran had a lot to say about what she sees as bad manners.
