Ep. 136: Jane Birkin w/ Marisa Meltzer

from Nymphet Alumni · host Biz Sherbert, Nymphet Alumni, and Marisa Meltzer

This week on Nymphet Alumni, Biz is joined by journalist and author Marisa Meltzer to talk about her new book It Girl: The Life and Legacy of Jane Birkin — the first comprehensive biography of the actress, singer and myth-muse. The two get into the making of Birkin’s image and the unseen real life behind it, plus how aging, style and selfhood intersect. Also discussed: the horrors of Serge Gainsbourg’s man-cave, Timothee Chalamet as inheritor of the Jane B legacy, and why swag might just come from getting older.Links:It Girl: The Life and Legacy of Jane Birkin by Marisa Meltzer (Out now!)Soft Power by Marisa MeltzerMarisa Meltzer This is a public episode.
