BookPeople Presents Carrie Brownstein at Central Presbyterian Church
BookPeople is pleased to welcome author, actress and rock star Carrie Brownstein to Austin's Central Presbyterian Church to discuss her new memoir, HUNGER MAKES ME A MODERN GIRL. Tickets are required and include a pre-signed copy of Hunger Makes Me A Modern Girl. Central Presbyterian Church is located at 200 E 8th St, Austin, TX 78701, Austin, TX 78701.
HUNGER MAKES ME A MODERN GIRL is an intimate and revealing narrative of 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.
Carrie Brownstein is a musician, writer and actor who first became widely known as the guitarist and vocalist of the band Sleater-Kinney and later as a creator, writer and co-star of the Emmy-nominated, Peabody Award winning television show Portlandia. Brownstein's writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Believer, Slate, and numerous anthologies on music and culture. She lives in Portland, Oregon and Los Angeles.
