Reading Lena Dunham’s Girls
In this book, leading and emerging scholars consider the mixed critical responses to Lena Dunham’s TV series Girls and reflect on its significance to contemporary debates about postfeminist popular cultures in a post-recession context. The series features both familiar and innovative depictions of young women and men in contemporary America that invite comparisons with Sex and the City. It aims for a refreshed, authentic expression of postfeminist femininity that eschews the glamour and aspirational fantasies spawned by its predecessor. This volume reviews the contemporary scholarship on Girls, from its representation of post-millennial gender politics to depictions of the messiness and im...

The Rules Do Not Apply
'Every deep feeling a human is capable of will be shaken loose by this short, but profound book' David Sedaris 'I wanted what we all want: everything. We want a mate who feels like family and a lover who is exotic, surprising. We want to be youthful adventurers and middle-aged mothers. We want intimacy and autonomy, safety and stimulation, reassurance and novelty, coziness and thrills. But we can't have it all.' Ariel Levy picks you up and hurls you through the story of how she lived believing that conventional rules no longer applied - that marriage doesn't have to mean monogamy, that aging doesn't have to mean infertility, that she could be 'the kind of woman who is free to do whatever she chooses'. But all of her assumptions about what she can control are undone after a string of overwhelming losses. 'I thought I had harnessed the power of my own strength and greed and love in a life that could contain it. But it has exploded.' Levy's own story of resilience becomes an unforgettable portrait of the shifting forces in our culture, of what has changed - and what never can.

A Year Without a Name
A "stunning" (Hanif Abdurraqib), "unputdownable" (Mary Karr) meditation on queerness, family, and desire. How do you know if you are transgender? How do you know if what you want and feel is real? How do you know whether to believe yourself? Cyrus Dunham’s life always felt like a series of imitations—lovable little girl, daughter, sister, young gay woman. But in a culture of relentless self-branding, and in a family subject to the intrusions and objectifications that attend fame, dissociation can come to feel normal. A Lambda Literary Award finalist, Dunham’s fearless, searching debut brings us inside the chrysalis of a transition inflected as much by whiteness and proximity to wealth as by gender, asking us to bear witness to an uncertain and exhilarating process that troubles our most basic assumptions about identity. Written with disarming emotional intensity in a voice uniquely his, A Year Without a Name is a potent, thrillingly unresolved meditation on queerness, family, and selfhood.

Not that kind of girl
On peut n'avoir même pas trente ans, avoir créé une série culte, avoir déjà été qualifiée pêle-mêle de " voix d'une génération " et de " fille naturelle de Susan Sontag et de Woody Allen ", figurer dans la liste du Times des 100 personnes les plus influentes du monde, avoir vu Joyce Carol Oates chanter vos louanges, avoir décroché un contrat faramineux avec une des plus grandes maisons d'édition américaines, et pourtant être percluse de tocs, de complexes et d'angoisses existentielles. Lena Dunham, c'est la bonne copine. Celle qui vous raconte par le menu ses plans drague foireux, ses accidents sexuels, ses premiers boulots minables. Mais Lena Dunham, c'est aussi la philosophe néoféministe qui nous explique qu'il vaut mieux pour notre santé mentale bannir à jamais le mot régime de notre vocabulaire, que dans la vie, il y a les hommes et il y a les connards, que New York est la plus belle ville du monde et qu'à la fin, puisqu'il n'y a rien, autant rigoler.
