Review: Lena Dunham’s book

by helenlewiswrites | Sep 24, 2014 | criticism

“As the carapace of fame around her has expanded, she has shrunk within it, leaving only gnomic statements about granola and blowjobs. Reading this book, you realise that Lena Dunham has been playing ‘Lena Dunham’ for a long time. She is not real." 
- my review of Lena Dunham’s "Not That Kind of Girl”, which turned into a bit of a rant about art, feminism and double standards.
