As you may recall, the Lena Dunham Backlash Curve dipped again this fall when the Girls creator sold an advice book for a whopping $3.7 million. Two months later, Gawker has posted Dunham’s book proposal in full, so that you might learn exactly what kind of advice is worth mid-seven figures. The 66-page, whimsically illustrated proposal includes anxious travel anecdotes, lessons learned from Dunham’s therapist, the expression FUPA (“Fat Upper Pussy Area”), and an extensive retelling of the things that Lena ate during the last week of August, 2010. (Warning: There’s also a rude pig photo inserted in the middle.) It is pretty much exactly what you would expect from a Lena Dunham send-up of Helen Gurley Brown. Anyway, it’s here; have at it.
