I also just read this!! I did a rewatch of girls afterward, it’s so amazing how it recontextualizes the show, knowing how young and naive (and oftentimes sick) she was behind the scenes. Super excellent book!!!!!!

Ok! Topic 1 for our next hang. Loved it, need to listen to audiobook now. Gotta hear it read in the The Voice (of a generation).

I almost never listen to my books but come on. A memoir. By Lena Dunham. Read in her actual own voice? It’s a no brainer. With all these years of retrospect I am firmly convinced that she is the voice of her/my generation. It’s all that much more magical that she wrote that line before we really knew how true it would be. Also, I listened to this while walking around Paris on a springtime solo vac

this book has me all the way fucked up and somehow looking at my sick/drug using mother with a softer gaze than i have in decades. i’m so grateful that lena has been here to reflect so many experiences through my shithead twenties and into my migraineur late 30s. side note… get your audiobooks from libro.fm cause they aren’t evil and you’re buying your books from real stores. fuck audible!
