Famesick: A Memoir
by Lena Dunham
Famesick: A Memoir, Lena Dunham's account of the decade behind Girls, is less a celebrity tell-all than a rigorous piece of narrative nonfiction about what chronic illness and ambition can cost a body. She traces her rise to fame in three sharp acts, and the writing is sharpest exactly where the stakes are highest.
