In this “darkly humorous” (Harper’s Bazaar) memoir-in-essays, actress and singer-songwriter Lola Kirke untangles an extraordinary upbringing in a family of eccentric, messy artists and explains how a big city girl went a little bit country.

“Lola is a wise, witty, and unsparing writer.” —Lena Dunham
“Probably the only book I’ll read this year.” —Zoë Kravitz

Raised by a rock star father and clothing designer mother, Lola Kirke and her older siblings (including actress Jemima and celebrity doula Domino), spent their childhoods freshly plucked from their English heritage in an eclectic West Village brownstone, hosting everyone from Cuban exiles to Courtney Love. But behind the enviable exterior of worldly coolness was a home in disarray.

In Wild West Village, Kirke chronicles a search for self amidst the chaos of the affairs, addictions, and afflictions surrounding her, detailing misadventures in everything from masturbation to marijuana, Cadbury’s to country music, and a dream of salvation on the silver screen.

Filled with unforgettable characters and insights into identities forged in fire, Wild West Village locates humor and lightness in life’s darkest moments. Irreverent and high-spirited, these are the stories of a young woman, teetering between a twang and a British accent, trying to fit in with larger-than-life personalities while secretly coming into her own.©2025 Lola Kirke (P)2025 Simon & Schuster Audio Entertainment & Celebrities Women Celebrity Funny Witty Comedy Village

An original and hilarious rollercoaster ride. Imagine Eve Babitz rewriting The Royal Tenenbaums, starring a warm-hearted Lola on a quest for self-discovery in the land of country music. "Wild West Village" is fresh and fun. I was grinning for almost the entire listen. Five stars!

I devoured this book, makes you feel all the feelings despite the 'privileged' upbringing and completely unrelated experiences. Great reading and listening!

Rich, funny, intimate!

Loved it! Kirke has such range as a storyteller: witty, deep, introspective and hilarious. The fact that she is so smart, beautiful and accomplished yet doesn’t take herself too seriously is a great recipe for building trust with the reader/listener and drawing them in for the adventure that this story is. I didn’t want it to end. Encore!

Fabulous storytelling

I really wanted to like this book, but the author’s lack of self-awareness and utter self-possession makes her unlikable and unrelatable. The whole thing was self aggrandizing, and I just kept thinking, “honestly who cares?” A boring read about a very competitive and rich family.

I really wanted to like this..
