A note from Wild Card host Rachel Martin: Lena Dunham became famous for creating and starring in the HBO show “Girls.” It was a massive hit because of how messy the characters were. Insecure, entitled and vulnerable. It was all on display for the audience, an unvarnished look at a certain kind of 20-something woman trying to figure out how to be in the world.
Lena Dunham has been working on that in her actual life ever since that show wrapped. How to be in the world in a way that feels honest and creative without turning her openness and vulnerability into a liability. She writes about all of it in her new memoir, it’s called “Famesick.”
