Citing illness, Dunham postpones book tour stops
Citing illness incurred from her weeks-long book tour, Lena Dunham has postponed two appearances in Europe until early December.
In a statement issued Tuesday through her publisher, Random House, Dunham said stops in Belgium and Germany originally planned for this week will instead take place between December 3 and December 9. “Details to come,” she added.
Dunham toured the U.S. and Canada throughout October to promote her best-selling essay collection “Not That Kind of Girl.” She first announced her postponements over the weekend on Twitter, soon after she had posted a self-described “rage spiral” of tweets denouncing allegations that as a child she had sexually abused her younger sister, Grace. The conservative National Review Online had cited passages from her book in which Dunham recalled kissing and touching her sister.
