Praise for LENA DUNHAM
"Dunham's writing is just as smart, honest, sophisticated, dangerous, and charming as her work on Girls. Its essential quality is a kind of joyful super-awareness: of herself, the world, the human. Reading her makes you glad to be in the world, and glad that she's in it with you."
GEORGE SAUNDERS
"There has never been anything quite like Girls before. There has never been anyone like Lena Dunham-running a massive, pop-culture phenomenon, on her own, at the age of 26. To a generation of girls, she is the thing. The very thing. The absolute thing."
CAITI IN MORAN
"It's not Lena Dunham's candor that makes me gasp. Rather, it's her writing-which is full of surprises where you least expect them. This is a fine, subversive book."
DAVID SEDARIS
"Always funny, sometimes wrenching, these essays are a testament to the creative wonder that is Lena Dunham."

"This book should be required reading for anyone who thinks they understand the experience of being a young woman in our culture. I thought I knew the author rather well, and I found many (not altogether welcome) surprises."

FROM THE ACCLAIMED CREATOR, PRODUCER, AND STAR OF HBO'S GIRLS
comes a hilarious, wise, and fiercely candid collection of personal essays that establishes Lena Dunham as one of the most original young talents writing today.
In Not That Kind of Girl, Dunham illuminates the experiences that are part of making one's way in the world: falling in love, feeling alone, being ten pounds overweight despite eating only health food, having to prove yourself in a room full of men twice your age, finding true love, and, most of all, having the guts to believe that your story is one that deserves to be told.
Exuberant, moving, and keenly observed, Not That Kind of Girl is a series of dispatches from the frontlines of the struggle that is growing up. "I'm already predicting my future shame at thinking I had anything to offer you," Dunham writes. "But if I can take what I've learned and make one menial job easier for you, or prevent you from having the kind of sex where you feel you must keep your sneakers on in case you want to run away during the act, then every misstep of mine will have been worthwhile."
