Gawker has posted what they claim is a copy of Lena “Girls” Dunham’s book proposal, the one that got her a $3.7 million advance from Random House.
It reads like a narcissistic and vulgar parody of what you’d expect Dunham’s book proposal to be. If it’s a parody, the joke’s on Gawker.
But if, as I believe, this is the actual book proposal, the joke is on Random House. It’s not funny, it’s not interesting, it’s just crap. Very, very expensive crap.
The sad thing is I’m sure there’s something brilliant buried in the slush pile at Random House tonight that will never bring its overlooked author even $3.70.
