In the Zone

Go West
Internet troll destroyer and funny woman Lindy West brings her fat, feminist self to Greenpoint to support her new book “Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman.” You should go for her great stories and critiques of modern culture, but also keep an eye out for “Girls” star Lena Dunham, another big fan.
