Miranda July in Conversation With host Lena Dunham BAM Howard Gilman Opera House (30 Lafayette Ave) Jan 28 at 8pm Tickets: $35, 45, 50 “Miranda July's ability to pervert norms while embracing what makes us normal is astounding. Writing in the first person with the frank, odd lilt of an utterly truthful character, she will make you laugh, cringe and recognize yourself in a woman you never planned to be. By the time July tackles motherhood, the book has become a bible. Never has a novel spoken so deeply to my sexuality, my spirituality, my secret self. I know I am not alone.” —Lena Dunham on July’s The First Bad Man Celebrating the release of Miranda July’s debut novel, The First Bad Man (Scribner, 2015), BAM presents an evening of conversation between the acclaimed filmmaker, artist, and bestselling author of the 2007 short story collection No One Belongs Here More Than You (Scribner) and fellow author and creative multi-hyphenate Lena Dunham (Not That Kind of Girl).
