TYCI and Glasgow Women’s Library, in association with Virago and Waterstones, are delighted to welcome Carrie Brownstein to Glasgow for an evening of conversation, memories and observations in celebration of her memoir Hunger Makes Me A Modern Girl (out 5th November).
Broadcaster, and journalist Nicola Meighan will host the evening, which will be one of the first events to take place following our launch of newly renovated premises the week before.
A candid, funny, and deeply personal look at making a life and finding yourself in music, 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.
*please note that there will be no signing session on the evening, with Carrie kindly pre signing all books before the event.
