It’s just like we always say: A little Molly always makes for a good party.
Caryn Zucker hosted a fearsomely fabulous bash for Molly Jong-Fast’s new memoir “How To Lose Your Mother” at her Central Park West spread Monday night.
Among those envying her balcony were Sarah Jessica Parker, New York Times Opinion editor Kate Kingsbury, Lawrence O’Donnell, Ari Melber, Donny Deutsch, MSNBC producer Lisa Ferri, Al Franken, Mickey Drexler, Jessica Pressler, George Hahn, literary agent Ryan Harbidge, Matthew Wiener, Daphne Merkin, Carl Swanson of the Times, New York Mag’s Erik Mazza, Jong-Fast’s son, Darwin, Teen Vogue’s Versha Sharma, Breaker Media founder Lachlan Cartwright, journalists Carson Griffith and Cami Fateh, and others.
Alex Levy toasted the author of the buzzy book from the sweeping staircase of the drop-dead duplex, and gave a summary of the story for “those of you who don’t have a sufficiently large social media following to have got an advance copy.”
Jong-Fast thanked her husband, Matthew Adlai Greenfield, whose cancer battle forms part of the book. She said apologetically, “I could tell that when you were getting diagnosed you were thinking, ‘She’s definitely going to write about this’.”
