Lena Dunham’s character on the HBO series “Girls” has been accepted into the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. This may be inspired by the fact that one of the show’s story editors has an MFA from the workshop (NSFW-ish, both for the explicitness endemic to most discussion about the series and a picture of said editor in hipster glasses).
I would bet that even Iowa City is going to be a culture shock for the character. I wonder if there will be scenes set there.
