She is probably younger than me
Below is a list of realised or upcoming projects by Lena Dunham (as mentioned in Rebecca Mead’s recent New Yorker article):
‘The Fountain’
An unnamed HBO pilot
‘Tiny Furniture’
‘Hooker on Campus’
‘Creative Nonfiction’
‘The Goldman Girls’
‘Delusional Downtown Divas’
‘Dash & Lily’s Book of Dates’
‘Credit Card Counseling’
‘Open the Door’
‘Untitled Lena Dunham Project’
A reaction to this (to any profile piece featuring a young writer/filmmaker on the cusp of ‘potential stardom’): A perfect composite of deep, guttural fear and self-referential excitement; a feeling not unlike that experienced when reading an author biography in which the writer is revealed to be younger than you are.
