As I write this, the mid-term elections haven't happened yet. As you read this, they have. And no matter what happens in that context, it should provide more than enough fuel for social critic/public speaker Fran Lebowitz to roar with humor and vitriol when she appears Saturday at the Garde Arts Center.

Let's just say Lebowitz had very strong opinions about all sorts of things — but since the election of Donald Trump as president, her dark focus has been on him and his supporters.

However!

Bestselling and highly acclaimed novelist Wally Lamb will be onstage interviewing Lebowitz, and his calm and wise demeanor — in conjunction with his own substantial intellect and passion — should make this a very memorable night of discourse.

An Evening with Fran Lebowitz in Conversation with Wally Lamb, 8 p.m. Saturday, Garde Arts Center, 325 State St., New London; $35-$55; (860) 444-7373, gardearts.org.
