Reading Lady asked Lena Dunham:

Where did you find your inspiration for the (retro)cover style?

Lena Dunham Thank you for asking! I love the cover, designed by my close friend Teddy Blanks. I was very inspired by the advice books of Helen Gurley Brown, and I've also always loved the early all-text Philip Roth and Norman Mailer covers. I wanted to mix the fun and flirty style of Gurley Brown's books with the gravitas of "fancy" male novelists.
