Wild West Village: Not a Memoir by Lola Kirke
5.0
In Wild West Village, a memoir-in-essays, actress and singer Lola Kirke discusses her life thus far, from her unconventional childhood—growing up in a West Village brownstone with her siblings, British rock star father, and socialite/designer mother—to her life as an actor and her journey as a singer and musician.
My favorite parts were the “Wait, is she interviewing Joan Didion for her school research project?” moment (that is quickly confirmed) and her love story with the Cowboy.
If you are an audiobook fan, I recommend listening to this one—I typically do for memoirs—not only to catch her tone and inflection but also for the clips of her singing.
In both audio and print, though, Kirke’s story is told with humor and vulnerability and is an interesting and engrossing look into someone’s life that is very different from the typical American experience.
I received a copy of the audiobook from Simon Audio and a copy of the print book from Simon and Schuster. All review opinions are my own.
