Step one to becoming the voice of a generation: have popular television show. Step two: write advice book. Twenty-six-year-old Girls creator and star Lena Dunham is shopping around a million-dollar book proposal, tentatively titled "Not That Kind of Girl: Advice by Lena Dunham." Slate obtained an email of the proposal. In an intro, Dunham says that Helen Gurley Brown was an inspiration—though she thinks Brown’s advice is crazy. The book will include her stories about losing her virginity, eating, and death.
