Lena Dunham, more popularly known as the creator of "Girls", will begin her book tour in New York.
Dubbed "the voice of her generation," Lena Dunham has written a book - a memoir, to be exact - called "Not That Kind Of Girl" and will officially start her tour in New York.
While the book has received mixed reactions, the HBO star did not get good feedback when an article from the New York Times reported that performers for her book tour will reportedly be "performing free of charge."
On September 29, Dunham tweeted her response to the backlash she received, saying: "Some good points were raised and I've ensured that all opening acts will be compensated for their time, their labor and their talents."
Meanwhile in an earlier interview with Parade, Dunham discussed her book and writing process and some bits of her personal life.
When asked why she named her book as such, she explained the concept, saying: "Well, I thought of it two ways. You know old movies when a guy will hit on a girl and he says something forward and she'll say, 'I'm not that kind of girl, get off me!' - that kind of dramatic, 1940s, women-defending her purity thing? There was that version of it, and then there was the version that it was just like an exclamation of difference and that women are each unique and the fact that nobody is that girl."
Dunham shared that she has photographic memory and that it helps her a lot in her writing process. "I've always had this ability to remember everything, down to the smells and tastes and outfits I was wearing," she explained. "But there is something very complex about delving into your past ... As I was writing the book, there were a lot of emotional days as I sort of stepped into the past and felt all the kind of ghosts walking around with me."
Lena Dunham's book was published by Random House.
