Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl by Carrie Brownstein
I enjoyed this window onto Brownstein's world. She is a very lucid and compelling writer whose easy yet carefully considered prose brings her history alive. One aspect that keeps me from giving a more enthusiastic endorsement is that, in her very self-description as a compartmentalizing person, the emotional complications of her story come early and never really vary much in tone or resolve themselves except in very specific moments. This gives her memoir a tinge of fatalism that is sometimes difficult to push through.
All told though, and especially if you are already familiar with her band, this has enough weight to warrant a read.
