Carrie Brownstein, best known as a part of Sleater-Kinney and the co-star of IFC’s Portlandia, announced a memoir with Ecco/HarperCollins… in 2009. At the time of the announcement, it was titled The Sound of Where You Are.

In the years since, she’s starred in five seasons of her show with Fred Armisen, published a book based on the show called Portlandia: A Guide for Visitors, formed the band Wild Flag, and, no big deal, picked up with Sleater-Kinney to release a new album, No Cities to Love. She toured the country, interviewing with people like the cast of Broad City, while breaking for televisions appearances in The Simpsons, Saturday Night Live, and Transparent.
