Book Selection: Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl by Carrie Brownstein

Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl is an intimate and revealing narrative of Carrie Brownstein's escape from a turbulent family life into a world where music was the means toward self-invention, community, and rescue. Along the way, Brownstein chronicles the excitement and contradictions within the era's flourishing and fiercely independent music subculture, including experiences that sowed the seeds for the observational satire of the popular television series Portlandia years later.
