Krátky popis
In this rowdy, frank reflection on illness, fame, sex, and
everything in between, the remarkable mind behind the hit series
Girls and the bestselling author of Not That Kind of Girl asks
whether fulfilling her creative ambitions has been worth the
pain.For the last decade, as she's spent countless hours in
doctor's waiting rooms searching for diagnoses, treatments, and
relief, being the owner and operator of Lena Dunham's body has
felt, as she puts it, 'like towing a wrecked car across town at
midnight.' It's not easy dragging a wrecked car anywhere, much less
to the Met Gala while sewn into a gold lame corset. Or to the set
of the hit show that you - as a twenty-five-year-old - are writing,
directing, producing, and starring in. Or to the White House, the
Golden Globes, or your publicist's office to discuss the latest
internet disaster.But Dunham does it - even if it means
interminable hospital stays, vomiting in the bathroom when she's
meant to be meeting Oprah, or terrifying those closest to her -
because she can no longer tell the difference between fighting to
do what she loves and being a servant to her own ambition. All the
while, she is holding out for a love that can withstand her
personal and public challenges and, more than anything, yearning to
feel like herself again - if only she could remember who that self
was.As Dunham takes us through her journey, tracking her rise to
fame - from selling the pilot of Girls to the present - in three
acts, it becomes clear that the spotlight casts long shadows,
distorting the relationships she once held dear and isolating
everyone in its glare. When an endless supply of drugs can't
protect you from pain - and begins to control your every move -
being famous doesn't stand a chance against the darker corners of
the human experience.In Famesick, Dunham asks herself what the cost
of fulfilling her dreams has really been, and whether it was worth
it.What she finds is deeper than physical relief, and more lasting,
as she learns to live with what she can't change and turn her
regrets into wisdom that can carry her forward, as she reconnects
to what, and who, she loves.
